The Global Cooksafe Coalition (GCC) exists to promote universal access to safe and sustainable cooking in OECD countries by at least 2030 in new buildings and 2040 in existing buildings, and in all buildings worldwide by 2045. That means universal access to affordable, energy-efficient cooking appliances, powered by rapidly decarbonising grids or distributed renewable energy.
Member organizations are leaders in the spheres of public health, property and the built environment, fair food, aid and development, renewable energy and climate change science and advocacy. Bringing together unparalleled experience, the GCC works to ensure we can all breathe clean air in our kitchens. And by getting fossil fuels out of kitchens, the GCC is leading urgent action to combat the climate crisis.
Mission
Global Cooksafe Coalition members will work together to deliver these crucial :
- By at least 2030, all new kitchens in OECD countries will use energy-efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
- By 2035, all new kitchens worldwide will use energy-efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
- By at least 2040, all existing kitchens in OECD countries will use energy-efficient electric cooking appliances
- By 2045, all existing kitchens worldwide will use energy efficient electric cooking appliances, powered by a rapidly decarbonising grid or distributed renewable energy.
- An immediate, urgent increase in public finance allocated to electrification of cooking in lower and middle income countries.
- Fiscal policy supporting households and small businesses to transition to energy-efficient electric appliances.
- Fiscal policy assisting vulnerable health cohorts to access effective rangehoods.
- Improved ventilation standards in national buildings codes.
