Anukriti Pathak, Tarun Garg | September 4, 2020
Rising temperatures present a grave danger to both food (nutrition) security and public health, making access to cooling a necessity for all sections of the population. AEEE along with CEEW and TERI recently became a part of a consortium of organisations, SHEETAL (Alliance for a Sustainable Habitat, Energy Efficiency and Thermal Comfort for All) working towards implementing the India Cooling Action Plan recommendations to fight the battle against climate change. As a part of the consortium, AEEE aims to work towards the goal of achieving thermal comfort in affordable housing, ratcheting up the MEPS level and development of labels for cooling related appliances, and supporting the development of sustainable horticulture cold chain in India.
