Accelerating Universal Adoption of Clean Cooking in Africa
April 15 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Co-organised by the Institute of Research in Technology (IIT-Comillas University) and the African School of Regulation (ASR), this webinar will introduce the new course, “New Approaches to Accelerate the Universal Adoption of Clean Cooking.”
Despite global commitments under SDG 7, progress toward universal access to clean cooking remains slow—particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where a significant share of the population continues to rely on polluting fuels and technologies. This session will highlight the scale of the challenge and its far-reaching health, environmental, and socio-economic impacts.
Participants will gain insights into innovative technical, regulatory, financial, and planning approaches that can support the large-scale and sustainable adoption of clean cooking solutions. Bringing together policymakers, practitioners, investors, and development partners, the webinar will provide a platform to exchange perspectives and foster collaboration toward practical, scalable solutions.
The session will also present the upcoming four-week online course, designed to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to drive real-world action.
