G7 Ministers Meeting Communiqué highlights urgency of addressing
this overlooked, underfunded global crisis
WASHINGTON, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The CEO of the Clean Cooking
Alliance Dymphna van der Lans released a statement following
the G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministers meeting this week
in Italy:
"The G7's support, which highlights clean
cooking as a critical component of 'just, inclusive, and
sustainable energy transitions,' underscores the urgency of
addressing a global crisis that is too often overlooked and
woefully underfunded." – Dymphna van der Lans, CCA CEO
"I commend G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministers for
their commitment to clean cooking. The G7's support, which
highlights clean cooking as a critical component of "just,
inclusive, and sustainable energy transitions," underscores the
urgency of addressing a global crisis that is too often overlooked
and woefully underfunded.
"It's now time to transform these commitments into action."
"Since its founding in 2010, the Clean Cooking Alliance has
worked to ensure access to clean cooking to the billions of people
who live without it. The G7 Communiqué provides a strong
recognition of our efforts.
"We urge all G7 member states to back their commitments with the
resources and action necessary to solve this crisis, which costs
the global economy more than $2
trillion each year and is responsible for as much
climate-harming emissions as the global aviation and shipping
industries.
"The G7's clear support for clean cooking marks an important
reminder for why access to clean cooking must be a global priority
– and that governments must step in to provide the resources needed
to solve it."
