Objectives
The project aims to support Djibouti’s government in developing a National Cooling Action Plan (NCAP) based on the Cool Coalition NCAP Methodology. The NCAP aims to develop a strategy that meets the following:
- Assess current and projected cooling demand across priority sectors, including buildings, health, food cold chains, industry, and transport, considering climate change impacts and socio-economic growth.
- Identify and prioritise cost-effective, energy-efficient, and low-global-warming-potential (low-GWP) cooling technologies and practices in line with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
- Enhance energy efficiency and reduce peak electricity demand associated with cooling, thereby improving energy security and system reliability. Encouraging passive cooling methods to reduce environmental impacts.
- Improve access to reliable and sustainable cooling services to protect public health, reduce food losses, and enhance economic productivity, particularly for vulnerable populations.
- Strengthen institutional coordination and governance mechanisms to integrate cooling considerations into national energy, climate, and development policies.
- Facilitating collaboration between public and private sectors to align policies and promote sustainable, market-driven cooling solutions.
- Support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from both energy consumption and refrigerants, contributing to Djibouti’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and long-term low-emission development goals.
- Build national capacity and establish a robust data and monitoring framework to guide evidence-based planning, investment mobilisation, and long-term implementation of sustainable cooling actions.
The current cooling practices in Djibouti need enhancements to meet the growing demand without further harming the environment. Cooling is a major contributor to global warming through direct and indirect emissions, and under a business-as-usual scenario, energy consumption for cooling could worsen emissions and climate impacts. Therefore, the NCAP is essential to ensure a sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient cooling future for Djibouti.
