We shall be there to document this awareness campaign on clean cooking solutions

Green lens is proud to have partnered with UNACC to document their participation at #REC24. This is key to our mission of creating visual content to help raise awareness about clean energy initiatives.

I’ve been here at Speke Resort & Conference Centre Munyonyo for #REC2024, following the discussions and exhibitions on Renewable Energy but more specifically on clean cooking from October 31st to November 2nd. As a dedicated advocate for clean cooking, I’m truly encouraged by the attention this critical issue is receiving. Despite this focus, it’s clear that access to clean cooking solutions is still falling short of the targets set in our National Clean Cooking Strategy. Key discussions have centered around financing, breaking down barriers to reach underserved markets, enhancing standards, and exploring carbon financing opportunities. However, a major challenge remains: there is still limited funding directed towards clean cooking communications and the creation of impactful visual content. This is an area where I hope to see increased investment and action to help drive the clean cooking message further.
