This benchmarking tool has been developed based on the policy instruments and mitigation options presented in the guideline "Raising ambition in NDCs through holistic mitigation approaches in the cooling sector – Guidance for policymakers", published by GIZ in 2022.
The overall objective is to enable decision-makers to do a self-analysis of the cooling sector-related measures included in the current Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of a country 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 the different measures can be found in the respective section or chapter of the guideline.
The tool does not claim to do an in-depth analysis of Refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) sector NDCs, nor can it take into account specific country circumstances. Therefore, the ambition level resulting from the selected policy instruments is more an indication of whether the measures are going in the right direction.
