These Indigenous women in Mexico are cooking with sunlight

Meet Mexico’s ‘cocineras solas’ or solar cooks.  These Indigenous women from Oaxaca state have swapped their traditional wood or gas-fired ovens with clean, sunshine-powered solar stoves - with enormous benefits.  Solar stoves produce no indoor air pollution, a global scourge that causes 3.2 million deaths every year. They also save households money on fuel costs, cut CO2 emissions, and curb deforestation.  Today, there are 500 cocineras solas in Oaxaca - and their numbers are growing. As the world moves towards net zero, it is vital to ensure decarbonization benefits everyone. The World Economic Forum’s Equitable Transition Initiative works to mobilize businesses and governments to make sure the green transition lifts up all communities.
