A Vision for Clean Cooking Access for All
One in three people in emerging and developing economies still cook over open fires, breathing in harmful smoke and fumes on a daily basis. Many of these people also spend hours gathering fuel and tending to fires for meal preparation. Women and children bear the brunt of this burden, often placing them in the way of danger while hampering opportunities for education, formal employment and financial independence.
The stoves and fuels needed to provide access to clean cooking are widely available, yet they remain out of reach for billions of people around the world. The IEA's new special report, A Vision for Clean Cooking Access for All, builds on the Agency’s two decades of work on energy access issues, shedding light on the challenges and successes in delivering clean cooking solutions, and laying out a roadmap to achieve universal access.
Developed in collaboration with the African Development Bank Group, the report focuses closely on sub-Saharan Africa and leverages the expertise of numerous international partners engaged in advancing progress on clean cooking globally.

Talks are well underway in preparation for the next major international meeting on climate change, 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), scheduled to begin Nov. 30 in the United Arab Emirates.
Much like last year’s COP27, finances — specifically, aid to developing nations — will be at the center of conference deliberations.
The conference faces an even greater sense of urgency brought on by the Sept. 8, 2023, release of the first global stocktake, which calls for accelerated action to meet the goals set in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement (COP21).
