Over the following two decades CHAI has expanded its focus. Today along with HIV we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19 malaria tuberculosis and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer diabetes hypertension and other non-communicable diseases and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines reduce maternal and child mortality combat chronic malnutrition and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health digital health and health financing. With each new and innovative program our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale ensuring that governments lead the solutions that programs are designed to scale nationally and learnings are shared globally.

About the project:
WJCF in partnership with its affiliate CHAI is leading an initiative to transform Indias air conditioning marketa climate impact opportunity addressing one of the fastest-growing sources of global emissions. Driven by worsening heat rising incomes and urbanization the world will buy 3 billion additional room air conditioners by 2050more than 1 billion in India alone where currently less than 10% of households own an AC unit.
Indias AC market is caught in a clear trap preventing efficient cooling adoption. Price-sensitive consumers typically purchase less energy-efficient units due to the $80 upfront price gap between 3-Star and 5-Star ACs. Consequently high-efficiency units account for just 20% of sales slowing energy standard upgrades and discouraging innovation. Existing users often operate ACs well beyond the recommended 8-year lifespan keeping outdated units in use long after standards improve.
A business-as-usual trajectory will create severe impacts. Inefficient AC usage already contributing to urban grid vulnerability will drive 20-fold electricity growth and 4 Gigatons of cumulative CO emissions by 2050nearly twice Indias current total emissions. With AC demand rising 15% annually theres a limited window to act before millions more inefficient units are locked into homes for another generation.
WJCF has successfully addressed similar market inefficiencies in global health by acting as a strategic convenor to align stakeholders inform markets and unlock access through innovative financing. We are adapting this proven market-driven approach to Indias cooling sector where scaling high-efficiency adoption offers gigaton-level climate impact and significant peak energy demand reduction.
