Saudi Arabia has launched a $2 billion fund aimed at providing clean cooking alternatives to 750 million people in developing countries, addressing a major global health and environmental crisis. Across sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia, millions still rely on polluting fuels such as wood, charcoal, and kerosene, resulting in toxic indoor air, deforestation, and significant greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative seeks to reduce premature deaths linked to household air pollution, which disproportionately affects women and children, and to cut carbon emissions by promoting efficient stoves and cleaner fuels. Through international projects like the Empowering Africa initiative, Saudi Arabia is working to improve energy access, health, and sustainability in vulnerable communities, positioning clean cooking as a critical issue for public health, climate action, and human rights.
