Clean Cooking at the Africa Climate Summit
In the lead up to COP28, Kenya will host the first-ever Africa Climate Summit (ACS) in Nairobi early next month. CCA and numerous partners are working to ensure clean cooking will be front and center at this global event.
To shine a light on clean cooking-related announcements, sessions, and events, CCA is developing a calendar of expected moments and will also host a Clean Cooking Hub in the ACS Expo Area to showcase the latest technologies and products from across the ecosystem.
An initial calendar is below, which will be updated as new information comes in. If your organization would like to add an event to the calendar or participate in the Clean Cooking Hub, please reach out to info@cleancooking.org. We look forward to seeing many of you in person in Nairobi soon.
