National Cooling Action Plan Methodology for the MENA Region - A Technical Report

The cNCAP MENA methodology provides a structured approach, starting with a thorough assessment of the current cooling landscape, including demand patterns, existing technologies, policy frameworks, and market dynamics. This assessment phase, crucial for understanding country-specific challenges and opportunities, is followed by a strategic planning phase where countries can set ambitious, yet achievable, targets for sustainable cooling. The methodology guides the identification of key interventions, policy instruments, and financial mechanisms needed to achieve these targets. Finally, it outlines an implementation framework, emphasizing stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and robust monitoring and evaluation. By following this adaptive framework, countries can ensure their NCAPs are not only technically sound but also politically feasible and economically viable, fostering a just transition to sustainable cooling.
