LADIES Nigeria’s Clean Cooking Future by aisi June 8, 2022 written by aisi Gender inclusion is crucial for attaining an equitable energy transition. Therefore, there should be intentional efforts to include women in the global transition to clean energy, especially in Africa, where women are already underrepresented. This podcast episode – Nigeria’s Clean Cooking Future – explores an issue which disproportionately affects Nigerian women; access to clean cooking. According to the World Bank, firewood and other polluting fuels for cooking account for approximately two per cent of global emissions.
