Clean cooling is at a defining moment in its development. The decisions made in the next few years will shape whether the sector realizes its potential as both a climate and human development solution. Two sectors addressing similarly fundamental energy needs — off-grid solar and clean cooking — have already navigated this early, high-stakes phase of market development, and their experiences, including the missteps, offer a practical guide for what lies ahead.
