UK to Help Give 10 Million People Worldwide Access to Clean Cooking

UK Minister for Development Anneliese Dodds will announce a major package to boost global access to clean forms of cooking that avoid burning wood or coal.

Globally, around 2.1 billion people still have to cook on firewood, charcoal or other polluting fuels, often worsening the health of many women and girls in particular, and damaging forests.
