The Hidden Side of Energy Access: Understanding Clean Cooking (Virtual Knowledge Exchange)

This course is based on the World Bank’s “ The Hidden Side of Energy Access: Understanding Clean Cooking ”. This course explores the hidden side of energy access by uncovering the reality that over 4 billion people around the world currently lack access to modern energy cooking services (MECS) for their daily cooking needs. Throughout the developing world, households still cook with firewood and charcoal on rudimentary stoves in poorly ventilated rooms, resulting in significant negative impacts for health, gender, the environment, and our climate.
