What we do
Promoting universal access to safe and sustainable cooking
Our mission
Cooking with fossil fuels is unhealthy and unsustainable. It’s also unnecessary.
The Global Cooksafe Coalition (GCC) exists to promote universal access to safe and sustainable cooking by 2030 in new kitchens and 2040 in existing kitchens. That means fossil-fuel-free cooking on electric appliances , powered by renewable energy.
Global Cooksafe Coalition members will work together to deliver these crucial objectives:
- 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
- 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.
