It’s clear that the global climate crisis will not be solved without clean cooking. Yet, as a climate solution, cooking remains woefully underfunded, receiving less than 1% of what’s needed.
The good news is that carbon finance is helping to fill that funding gap and, in turn, accelerating access to clean cooking. This second edition of Vantage Point highlights the significant funding gap hindering the global advancement of clean cooking and shines a spotlight on the transformative power of carbon finance to unlock progress. This issue delves into the clean cooking carbon finance landscape, highlighting the innovation and collaboration taking place across the sector.
We are honored to have contributions from leading voices in both the public and private sectors, including Her Excellency Samira Bawumia, Second Lady of Ghana; Michael S. Regan, Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Margaret Kim, CEO of Gold Standard; and Jules Kortenhorst, CEO of C-Quest Capital. In this edition, they share their perspectives on the critical role of clean cooking in addressing the climate crisis and the actions required to achieve universal access.
