Mission
Save lives, improve livelihoods, empower women, and protect the environment by creating a thriving global market for clean and efficient household cooking solutions
How They Do It
The Alliance is focused on four core pillars to accelerate clean cooking access:
- Driving consumer demand for cleaner, more modern cookstoves and fuels by supporting behavior change and awareness raising interventions;
- Building a pipeline of investible businesses capable of answering this demand with affordable, high-quality, appropriate clean cooking products;
- Improving the policy environment by providing trusted, relevant data and advocating for regulations and policies that allow the industry to thrive; and
- Increasing investment community participation and global engagement by providing market intelligence, delivering a clear path to action, and continuing to serve as the convener of the clean cooking sector.
