The 4th session of the Talk Series – Phase III on Transitioning to Modern Energy for Cooking: Tackling Air Pollution through Clean Cooking will be held on 25th January 2024, 1600 Hrs IST / 1030 Hrs GMT. Household Air Pollution (HAP) is estimated to impose a staggering global economic burden exceeding $2.4 trillion annually, accounting for lost productivity and healthcare expenditures. In India, a significant 20% to 50% of outdoor pollution stems from household cooking and heating practices. While deeply rooted in cultural traditions, these methods take a considerable toll on public health. Embracing modern cooking technology emerges as a vital intervention, representing a pivotal stride toward enhancing global public health and fostering environmental sustainability. The webinar will centre around the policy framework and various government initiatives aimed at enhancing air quality. We will explore how clean cooking solutions can play a pivotal role in mitigating air pollution and addressing climate change challenges.
