Bonn International Cooking Energy Forum: Progress towards the “100 million by 2020” goal | Bonn, Germany, June 26-28, 2013
During the last two years, the topic of clean cooking has gained tremendous momentum on the international agenda with the 2010 creation of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves. The Alliance seeks to enable 100 million households to adopt clean cooking solutions by the year 2020. More efficient and alternative cooking energy systems are under continuous development – however, access to affordable, sustainable and clean cooking energy for two thirds of the world’s population still remains a challenge. Therefore, the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development and the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves invite you to the Bonn International Cooking Energy Forum. The conference will build upon the discussions held at the March 2013 International Clean Cooking Forum in Cambodia.
Objective of the Forum
The Forum intends to arrive at a set of best practice recommendations to strengthen the commitment of European partners and build new partnerships with and within the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.
Around 150 representatives from relevant ministries, the private sector and non-governmental organizations in European and developing countries, as well as implementing agencies are invited to develop recommendations on how best to advance and harmonize their contributions to reach the “100 million by 2020” goal by boosting
sustainable markets for modern cooking energy along the entire value chain from fuel production to energy use.
