To achieve truly sustainable buildings resilient cooling systems are vital, leveraging smart HVAC and passive cooling to deeply reduce energy use and emissions. Amid rising temperatures, resilient cooling minimises energy consumption, aligning with EU targets for a 49% renewable energy share in buildings by 2030. 

Governments must prioritise holistic approaches, integrating resilient cooling into building codes and fostering innovation through initiatives like the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program. Support mechanisms such as the Green Climate Fund can incentivise adoption through financial aid, while workforce training ensures skilled implementation. 

With conducive regulations and financial backing, governments can accelerate the adoption of sustainable cooling, advancing long-term sustainability goals.
