Change in cooling degree days with global mean temperature rise increasing from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C

N. D. Miranda, J. Lizana, et al.

As global warming targets slip from reach, a new study reveals a staggering rise in cooling demands, especially in African nations. This vital research, led by experts including Nicole D. Miranda and Jesus Lizana from the University of Oxford, emphasizes the urgent need for immediate adaptation strategies.

Abstract
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.
