      AS CLIMATE change causes temperatures to soar, there is a growing demand for cooling that can come at a significant environmental cost, particularly when generated from fossil fuels. A recent report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reveals that “the surging demand of cooling”, in fact, “risks locking in steep increases in energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions”, which fuel the changing climate.
