Clean Cooking - Financing, Policy, and Innovation for Last Mile Impact

In this episode of the ClimateTech Podcast, we explore how clean cooking—especially electric cooking powered by renewables—is emerging as a powerful climate solution with wide-reaching benefits for health, gender equality, and sustainable development.

We delve into why clean cooking is now a national priority in Uganda, the numerous co-benefits, barriers to scale, including affordability, access, and awareness, and how carbon markets and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can unlock new financing pathways.

Guests:

Herbert Abigaba, Head of the Clean Cooking Unit, Ministry of Energy, Uganda
Ruth Akiiki Komuntale, Managing Director, ECOCA East Africa
Ben Jeffreys, Managing Director, ATEC
Sandra Cavalieri, Clean Cooking Lead, Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC)

Or check out the SOLCO Partnership - a multi-stakeholder ecosystem catalyzing the transition to solar-powered electric cooking or hybrid e-cooking in last mile communities across the globe, and the Global Electric Cooking Coalition (GeCCo) - a collaboration of eCooking advocates seeking to significantly scale up access to electric cooking solutions across the world.
