Demand for air conditioners set to triple by 2050
The Freeman
|December 27, 2025
Global demand for air conditioning could more than triple by 2050, the United Nations warned, calling for more sustainable cooling solutions.
-
The UN Environment Program said demand could surge due to increases in population and wealth around the world, combined with more extreme heat.
Rising demand for more polluting and inefficient cooling systems "would almost double cooling-related greenhouse gas emissions over 2022 levels", said UNEP.
UNEP launched its Global Cooling Watch 2025 report on the sidelines of the COP30 UN climate summit in Belem in the Brazilian Amazon.
