Funding the Fight Against the World’s Oldest Fuel Source: How New Financing Mechanisms in Clean Cooking Can Succeed Where Grants Have Failed The use of biomass fuel for cooking has remained consistent over the centuries, despite the development sector’s efforts to scale global access to clean cookstoves. As Paul Ronalds at Save the Children Global Ventures argues, a key reason for this failure is the estimated $5.5 billion annual funding gap facing clean cooking initiatives — a gap that traditional sources of finance, like private donations and government grants, have been unable to fill. He discusses several funding solutions, including carbon credits, that could help the clean cooking sector finally end the era of biomass fuel. https://bit.ly/3N8SGjF ATEC Global #ClimateFinance #CarbonCredits #CleanCooking #PublicHealth #forests #ClimateChange #deforestation #CookStoves #biomass #development #EmergingMarkets #China #Kenya #Nepal #Indonesia #SoutheastAsia #AsiaPacific #subSaharanAfrica #GlobalDevelopment #FundingGap #SDGs #FundingSolutions
