Members’ Statement of Intent

The Global Cooksafe Coalition (GCC) exists to promote universal access to safe and sustainable cooking.

That means affordable, fossil-fuel-free cooking, using energy-efficient appliances, powered by rapidly decarbonising grids or distributed renewable energy.

We, the undersigned, commit to support:

• By at least 2030, all new kitchens in OECD countries will use energy efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
• By 2035, all new kitchens worldwide will use energy efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
• By at least 2040, all existing kitchens in OECD countries will use energy efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
• By 2045, all existing kitchens worldwide will use energy efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
• An immediate, urgent increase in public finance allocated to electrification of cooking in lower and middle income countries.
• Fiscal policy supporting households and small businesses to transition to energy efficient electric appliances.
• Fiscal policy assisting vulnerable health cohorts to access effective rangehoods.
• Improved ventilation standards in national buildings codes.
