Launched in Australia in late 2022 and in the UK in 2024, the GCC is a response to the growing awareness of the impacts of dangerous fuels and their use for cooking.
The coalition has the support of celebrity chefs, major global property companies and leaders in health, aid and development, climate change and renewable energy.
