About this listen

In this episode of the ClimateTech Podcast, we explore how clean cooking—especially electric cooking powered by renewables—is emerging as a powerful climate solution with wide-reaching benefits for health, gender equality, and sustainable development.

We delve into why clean cooking is now a national priority in Uganda, the numerous co-benefits, barriers to scale, including affordability, access, and awareness, and how carbon markets and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement can unlock new financing pathways.

Guests:
  • Herbert Abigaba, Head of the Clean Cooking Unit, Ministry of Energy, Uganda
  • Ruth Akiiki Komuntale, Managing Director, ECOCA East Africa
  • Ben Jeffreys, Managing Director, ATEC
  • Sandra Cavalieri, Clean Cooking Lead, Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC)
