Why climate-friendly cooking is good for Kenya

Kenya needs to intensify public awareness campaigns expounding the benefits of clean cooking solutions that include
a variety of improved cooking stoves and fuels.

Data from the Kenya Household Cooking Sector Study 2019 shows that about 7.3 million households use the Three Stone Open Fire (TSOF) compared to about 4.7 million two decades ago. Thus, instead of more Kenyans adopting clean cooking, a bigger number is still stuck with this traditional mode. That not only contributes to an increase in the country's greenhouse gas emissions but also jeopardises the health of many.
