Clean cooking is a nature-based solution

Because if wood is the primary fuel used, it reduces a main driver of deforestation.   

To end deforestation globally, we must address the unique drivers of deforestation in each community. For instance, in Guatemala, even if we replanted every hectare of trees lost, without solving the reason for that deforestation – people using wood for fuel – those trees will just be cut down again.  

The voluntary carbon market (VCM) is designed to understand the causes of emissions, e.g. deforestation, and develop projects which deliver sustainable alternatives, verifying that those projects do actually reduce emissions and make a positive change.

Inefficient cooking with wood and coal is a major cause of deforestation for communities and as long as access to clean cooking technology remains below the global average, the unsustainable demand for cooking fuel will continue to drive tree loss.  

The Clean Cooking Alliance’s 2022 report, Accelerating Clean Cooking as a Nature-based Climate Solution, outlines the evidence base for the fundamental role of clean cooking in delivering and achieving the benefits of nature-based solutions (NBS). Reducing the firewood demands of local communities should be core to nature-based solutions where communities lack access to more efficient and cleaner stoves and fuels. The avoidance of emissions from shifting to clean cooking should be considered a central activity for ensuring the “permanence” of nature-based climate solutions, while also supporting a transformation of households’ energy use and health.
