FAIR CLIMATE PROGRAMME FOR SUSTAINABLE HOUSEHOLD ENERGY (POA)
CLEAN COOKING
Project Overview
This project focuses on distributing improved cookstoves (ICS) across rural households in India (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha) to replace traditional wood stoves, reducing deforestation and improving indoor air quality. By enhancing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the initiative contributes to sustainable development goals.
Key Objectives
Promote cleaner cooking technologies and reduce reliance on traditional wood stoves.
Mitigate indoor air pollution, especially for women and children.
Support sustainable development through energy efficiency.
