This pollution is often caused by cooking over open fires. Only 17 per cent of the population uses cooking stoves, even though these are more efficient and better for human health and the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As part of this climate protection project, efficient cookstoves are therefore being distributed in Zambia to households that use open wood fires as their energy source. This creates local jobs and provides around 45,000 households a year with access to a cookstove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">These efficient stoves burn biomass fuels more efficiently, thereby reducing greenhouse gas and particulate matter emissions. This saves around 429,490 tonnes of CO\u2082 per year and significantly improves indoor air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Improved indoor air quality helps to reduce respiratory illnesses and enables families to save time and money as they need less fuel. The cookstove projects in the ClimatePartner portfolio are registered in accordance with international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Many people are sitting on the floor, listening to a woman standing in front of them as she demonstrates a new cooker\" class=\"wp-image-34087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_04_72dpi.jpg 1338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.34%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"Nahaufnahme des Kochofenes, im Hintergrund die sitzenden Menschen\" class=\"wp-image-34085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_03_72dpi.jpg 1447w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"eine Frau sitzt neben dem Kochofen, der Raum wird von aufeinander gelegten Steinen begrenzt\" class=\"wp-image-34083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.breitsamer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/1436_ClimatePartner_02_72dpi.jpg 1380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Efficient cookstoves \u2013 better for the climate and health In Zambia, indoor air pollution is one of the greatest health risks.
