Cooling as Critical Infrastructure to Survive and Thrive - with Dr Tim Fox
With the highly successful launch of 'The Hot Reality: Living in a +50°C World' at the IMechE's headquarters, the Clean Cooling network would like to invite you to join Dr Tim Fox (lead author), to explore the report which highlights the essential need for cooling as critical infrastructure.
The Hot Reality: Living in a +50°C World | Clean Cooling
The recent increase in severe and frequent heatwaves due to rising temperatures will have significant and disastrous consequences, impacting all liveable aspects of life on Earth. A viable solution needs to address our survival and the quality of every aspect of our local and global environment. Clean Cooling, a term coined by the Centre for Sustainable Cooling, aims to create resilient and futureproofed cooling infrastructure, considering global goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change mitigation. For clean cooling to be effective, the consequence of a future without clean cooling as critical infrastructure needs to be highlighted: food insecurity, ineffective health systems, and negative impacts on; productivity, data, and safety therefore increasing the demand for cooling. Clean Cooling takes a holistic approach to implementing infrastructure considering accessibility, affordability, financial sustainability, scalability, safety, and reliability to help deliver societal, economic, and health goals.
