Why do some households buy a modern cookstove and then choose to keep using smoky fuels?

Fuel stacking is one of the most stubborn challenges in the clean cooking sector. It erodes health and climate benefits, and undermines the business models of clean cooking enterprises. But robust, comparable data on why it happens has been thin.

CCA's User Insights Lab is releasing the findings from the largest fuel stacking study in sub-Saharan Africa to date: 3,000+ household surveys across Kenya, Mozambique, Zambia, and Malawi, conducted with seven clean cooking companies using a standardized diagnostic tool.

Join CCA on 30 June to hear what the data shows about customer behavior, which cooking practices drive stacking, and what companies can do about it. Representatives from Emerging Cooking Solutions and CLEAN-Air Africa will share how they've applied and tested these findings in practice.

30 June | 7:00 EDT / 12:00 BST / 13:00 CEST / 14:00 EAT

What does clean cooking have to do with gorilla conservation?

Collecting wood for fuel contributes to habitat degradation, impacting gorillas through food loss, stress, and increased risk of disease transmission.

Clean, modern stoves and fuels can provide the energy people need while improving air quality and reducing pressures on forests.

We just launched the Clean Cooking NDC Tracker and the global picture is striking.

Our new tracker maps how 131 low- and middle-income countries are integrating clean cooking into their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the national climate plans submitted to the UN under the Paris Agreement.

Here's where each region stands:

🌍 Sub-Saharan Africa: 98% of countries include clean cooking or household energy measures—a reflection of need and also political commitment
🌏 South Asia: 100% inclusion rate, with 75% including explicit clean cooking targets
🌏 East Asia & the Pacific: 73% include clean cooking or household energy measures
🌎 Latin America & the Caribbean: 52%
🌍 Middle East & North Africa: 42%
🌍 Europe & Central Asia: 58%

The data points to the importance of clean cooking as an energy and climate solution.

Introducing the Clean Cooking NDC Tracker 🌍

Over 2 billion people rely on open fires or polluting stoves to cook. Tackling this issue is a health, economic, and climate imperative. Countries' National Determined Contributions (NDCs) are one of the most powerful tools governments have to drive change.

So, where does clean cooking stand in those plans?

Our new NDC Tracker answers that question for 131 low- and middle-income countries:

📌 75% include clean cooking or household energy measures in their NDC

📌 66 countries have explicit clean cooking commitments

This tracker is a resource for advocates, policymakers, and funders who need reliable data to make the case for clean cooking.
