Clean Cooking Alliance

📢 CCA's 2025 Annual Report is out now.

Progress on clean cooking happens when governments act, markets function, and evidence drives decisions. In 2025, we saw all three.

Some highlights from the year:

🛣️ Sierra Leone, supported by its Delivery Unit, launched its first National Clean Cooking Strategy.

🗺️ Kenya, supported by its Delivery Unit, developed an institutional financing roadmap.

📊 CCA submitted the CLEAR Methodology for international approval and published a Buyer's Guide to High-Quality Cookstove Carbon Credits.

🎤 The User Insights Lab conducted research to help companies improve the design of electric pressure cookers.

🌍 Clean cooking appeared as a standing G20 agenda item for the first time, and received explicit mention in COP30's Just Transitions Work Program.

🎓 The Women in Clean Cooking mentorship program graduated its fourth cohort, with 63 leaders from 20 countries.

As CCA CEO Dymphna van der Lans noted, "There is a broad understanding that clean cooking matters. The harder question now is whether growing ambition can be turned into scaled and sustained implementation."

That question continues to motivate all of CCA's work.

Ted Turner's vision and generosity helped shine a light on some of the world's greatest challenges, including the need for greater access to clean cooking. We are honored to carry on this work.

The United Nations Foundation community is mourning the loss and honoring the life of our Founder and Chairman Ted Turner.

In 1997, Ted pledged $1 billion to create the UN Foundation, the largest individual philanthropic gift in history at the time.

We are honored to carry forward his torch.
