Clean Cooking for Climate Action: Roadmap for National Clean Cooking Programs to Achieve Emission Reduction Targets

In 2021, the Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) convened the Clean Cooking & Climate Consortium (4C) to support LMIC governments to make specific commitments to reduce emissions from cooking in their NDCs and/or associated implementation plans. 4C provides technical support for countries’ clean cooking implementation plans as well as developing an MRV framework for climate goals achieved through clean cooking.

This document provides an overview of the benefits of and new opportunities for clean cooking transitions, to assist governments and other stakeholders to maximize uptake. A companion document entitled, Introductory Framework for Measurement, Reporting, and Verification for Clean Cooking Energy Initiatives provides a more specific discussion on MRV.
