Environmental Impact of Air Conditioning

The rising temperatures and the increasing heatwaves in 2024, with expectations of breaking record highs in 2026, present significant challenges for air conditioning usage. There is a growing reliance on cooling technology, which leads to higher electricity consumption and increased greenhouse gas emissions. In 2022, cooling technologies were responsible for approximately one billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Addressing this issue requires more efficient technologies, the use of refrigerants with less environmental impact, and the adoption of passive cooling strategies to reduce the economic and environmental burdens associated with air conditioning.
