Limiting global mean temperature rise to 1.5 °C is increasingly out of reach. This work shows the impact on global cooling demand in moving from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C of global warming. African countries will experience the largest increase in cooling requirements, while Switzerland, the UK, and Norway will face the most significant relative increases. Immediate and unprecedented adaptation interventions are needed worldwide.
