Clean Cooking – COP29
The ‘Clean Cooking in Africa’ summit of the International Energy Agency (IEA) took place in Paris on 14 May 2024.
The facts and findings presented and elaborated here were taken up again at COP29 in Baku, as reported here by ‘African Business’, among others.
We have long been aware of the damage to the health of women and children who continue to cook over open fires using wood, charcoal and
other fossil fuels – and not only on the African continent.
We are also concerned about the impact that the use of fossil fuels and the deforestation of valuable trees by a growing population on the African
continent will have on the climate.
For more than 30 years, our aim has been to help reduce these risks with our solar cookers.
Perhaps just a drop in the ocean, but we are still enthusiastic and keep the following African proverb in mind:
Many small people who in many small places do many small things can alter the face of the world.
