Achieving Scale in the Clean Cooking Sector
Did you know that 4 million premature deaths occur every year as a result of 3 billion people cooking their food over smoky open fires or inefficient cookstoves? Exposure to smoke from cooking is not only equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, but presents an economic burden for the world’s poorest families, some of whom spend upwards of one-third of family income purchasing fuel or 3+ hours cooking a single meal due to inefficient cookstoves and traditional practices.
Clean-burning and fuel-efficient cookstoves reduce indoor air pollution by up to 90 percent and require 80 percent less fuel than traditional stoves.
Join Prakti co-founder and CEO, Mouhsine Serrar and board member, Alice Lin Fabiano, for an enlightening discussion of innovation, impact and challenges preventing scale of the clean cooking sector, moderated by Aspen’s Global Alliances Program Executive Director Mickey Bergman.
