Cooking For Life
Mission
To facilitate the transition of one billion people from cooking with traditional fuels as well as other dirty and dangerous fuels to cleaner-burning LPG by 2030.
Organizational Expertise
Climate/Environment, Gender / Womens Empowerment
Technologies & Fuels
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Clean Cooking Activities
The campaign convenes governments, public health officials, the energy industry, and global NGOs to expand access to LPG and bring this modern alternative to the people who need it most. We also work to increase public awareness about how traditional fuels negatively affect everyday life among the world’s most vulnerable.
Partnership
The shift from traditional fuels to LPG will have economic and social benefits for lifting millions out of the poverty trap to save lives, improve health, empower women, and preserve the environment. The shift would also help prevent 500,000 premature deaths per year, primarily women and children from exposure to indoor air pollution and save 2.65 million hectares of forest, or 51% of annual global net deforestation, with every 268 million households converted to LPG.
Specific Goals:
-Demonstrate the benefits of LPG to policymakers and opinion leaders in the context of development: health, economic advancement, women’s empowerment, education, and the environment.
-Enable WLPGA member companies, policymakers, governments, and development agencies to serve as channels to reach consumers about the benefits of LPG.
-Demonstrate the benefits of LPG as a cooking fuel to women, stressing the convenience, modernity, and health benefits.
-Promote the expansion of LPG demand and usage in developing markets by working with governments and development agencies.
