Danfoss Joins UN initiative to Curb the World’s Cooling Challenges

 

The UN Economic Commission for Europe has estimated that, by 2050, the world’s population will reach about 9 billion – 70% of whom will live in cities, which equates to adding 235 cities the size of Paris. This, combined with rising global temperatures, will result in a boom in demand for cooling devices such as air conditioners and refrigerators and a corresponding surge in energy demand, which will create additional impacts on the climate.
