Chilling Prospects is a groundbreaking report series by SEforALL in partnership with and supported by the Clean Cooling Collaborative (formerly K-CEP) as part of the Cooling for All initiative, which develops the reports along with contributions from the Global Panel on Access to Cooling.
Released for the first time in 2018, Chilling Prospects was a global wake-up call – and was the first report to define and quantify the magnitude of the global cooling access challenge and call for new and sustained action to address the issue.

Chilling Prospects 2022 shines a light on the cooling access challenges faced today and how they may change by 2030. It shows that the risks to the most vulnerable from extreme heat are growing because of a lack of access to sustainable cooling.
1.09 billion people are at high risk due to lack of access to cooling and a further 2.34 billion lack access to clean and efficient cooling.
Across 54 high-impact countries, 1.02 billion people among the rural and urban poor remain at high risk in 2020. This includes 318 million people living in poor rural areas and 699 million living in poor urban areas.
Chilling Prospects: Tracking Sustainable Cooling for All 2019 is the second report in the Chilling Prospects series and serves as a follow-up to the inaugural report’s wake-up call and call to action.
Chilling Prospects is the first report to define and quantify the magnitude of the cooling access challenge, including an assessment of countries facing the biggest risks.
