Clean Cooking Alliance, United Nations Foundation

Worldwide, more than one in three people depend on polluting open fires or inefficient stoves to cook their food, harming health, the climate, and the environment. The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) works with a global network of partners to build an inclusive industry that can make clean cooking accessible to all. Established in 2010, CCA is driving consumer demand, mobilizing investment, and supporting policies that allow the clean cooking sector to thrive.

The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) complements the work of partners to build a dynamic, inclusive, and financially sustainable industry with the goal of achieving universal access to clean cooking by 2030. This will lead to improved health, reduced climate and environmental impacts, empowered women, and improved livelihoods.

CCA's work is built around three core pillars:

• Driving consumer demand for cleaner, more modern stoves and fuels by supporting behavior change and awareness-raising interventions;
• Mobilizing investment to build a pipeline of scalable businesses capable of delivering affordable, appropriate, high-quality clean cooking products; and
• Fostering an enabling environment for industry growth by advocating for effective and predictable policies; providing trusted, relevant data; and serving as the convener and champion of the clean cooking sector.
