Access to clean cooking facilities is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce deaths from indoor air-pollution
30.06.2016
Key to achieving this goal is tackling household air pollution via the provision of improved cookstoves or via fuel switching to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as this is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce the human cost of air pollution and is fundamental to the achievement of the Clean Air strategy.
The measures proposed in the Clean Air Scenario are tailored to different national and regional circumstances, and include effective action to achieve full, universal access to cleaner cooking fuels and to electricity. Given the diversity of local circumstances there can be no uniform policy prescription to improve air quality. The Clean Air Scenario rests instead on a suite of policy measures that – adapted in tailored combinations to reflect different national and regional settings – can bring about the targeted improvement in air quality.
