Clean Cooking Forum 2022

The Clean Cooking Forum is the only global, high-level event dedicated to expanding access to clean fuels and stoves for cooking. It is the landmark convening of the clean cooking sector, hosted every two years by the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) and its partners, including the government of the host country. The previous Forum was held in Nairobi in 2019, in partnership with Kenya’s Ministry of Energy. The Clean Cooking Forum 2022 – delayed by one year due to COVID-19 – is planned to take place in Accra, Ghana, from October 11-13. It will include investors, executives, government officials, advocates, and academics from around the world working to increase access to clean cooking.

Not only is West Africa a hub for innovation and progress on clean cooking, but Ghana is a notable leader in the region in terms of policy, investments, advocacy, and on-going programs.

CCA previously held the Forum in Ghana in 2015. Much has happened since that time, but the greatest need for clean cooking continues to be in Africa, which is where CCA focuses most of its work.

With COP27 coming up in Egypt, it is crucial to maintain the focus on expanding access to clean cooking as part of African countries’ commitments on climate action. Ghana’s National Determined Contribution includes commitments on clean cooking.

CCA has strong partners in Ghana, including H.E. Ambassador Alima Mahama, who sits on CCA’s Leadership Council; the Second Lady of Ghana H.E. Samira Bawumia; and Grammy-nominated musician Rocky Dawuni. CCA is liaising with eight different government agencies on the Forum, including the Office of the President, and is also consulting with the Ghana Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.

The Forum 2022 will take place at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra. The Kempinski has the largest venue in Accra, except for the International Conference Center, which is scheduled for renovation in late 2022. CCA selected the Kempinski for its large capacity, to safely host 500 people in-person while still maintaining COVID-19 precautions. In addition, the Kempinski is centrally located, making it accessible to partners who choose to stay at other hotels.

The Clean Cooking Forum 2022 is a unique opportunity to accelerate the investment, innovation, partnerships, political commitments, and policies needed to achieve universal access to clean cooking by 2030. Any experienced and new partners committed to advancing a sustainable clean cooking industry at scale are encouraged to attend.
