Cool Ideas for a Hotter Planet - Presented at DC Climate Week

​Hosted by CoolPact Capital and presented at DC Climate Week.

By 2050, over 4.5 billion people will face deadly heat waves as global temperatures continue to rise. This surge in extreme heat is driving a rapidly growing demand for cooling solutions, which in turn leads to an increase in energy demand. In many developing economies, including India, extreme heat is already causing productivity loss, higher rates of illness and mortality, and food loss.  

​According to the 2024 IFC Cooler Finance Report, the global market for sustainable cooling presents a new opportunity for investors as the cooling market is projected to reach at least $600 billion by 2050. Sustainable and innovative cooling solutions will help communities adapt to rising temperatures and mitigate impacts of the increasing demand for energy, including the rise in GHG emissions.  

​Please join CoolPact Capital during DC Climate Week for a moderated panel discussion with leading experts from the World Bank, RMI, and OTS R&D. Following the discussion, CoolPact will host a light networking event with coffee service provided, and attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a tour of the Daikin sustainability facility.
