Quick self-analysis to evaluate cooling sector-related targets and measures included in NDCs

This quick self-analysis includes all policy options contained in the guideline "Raising ambition in NDCs through holistic mitigation approaches in the cooling sector – Guidance for policymakers" published by GIZ in 2022.

The objective is to enable decision-makers to do a self-analysis of the cooling sector-related measures included in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) or to be included in future updated NDCs. The tool follows the same logic and structure as presented in the guideline. Thus, a more detailed description of each measure is provided there.

The tool does not claim to do an in-depth analysis of NDCs in the refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector, nor can it take into account specific country circumstances. Therefore, the ambition level resulting from the selected measures can only indicate whether the measures are going in the right direction.
