#This Is Cool
With one in every seven people at risk from life-threatening temperatures or broken cold chains, neither people nor the planet can afford inaction on sustainable cooling. A further 2.5 billion lack access to clean and efficient cooling. In a warming world, access to sustainable cooling is not a luxury. It is an issue of equity and a service that must be delivered to everyone.
Become a supporter of the This Is Cool campaign and encourage organisations and communities to cool more sustainably by spreading the word about sustainable cooling solutions.
