VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENTS: CLEAN COOKING ALLIANCE(CCA) IS HIRING FOR SOME REMOTE POSITIONS IN AFRICA AND UK
Work remotely apply for the below vacancies at Clean Cooking Alliance.
Clean Cooking Transforms Lives
Since CCA was founded in 2010, global efforts to support a market-based approach to address clean cooking have made progress.
Compared to a decade ago, millions more families now have access to and are using cleaner, more modern stoves and fuels. Years of global communications and advocacy efforts by CCA and its partners have helped ensure that clean cooking be made part of many countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Climate Agreement.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has recognized clean cooking as a means of addressing short-lived climate forcers like black carbon. In addition, a clean cooking indicator was included in and is being tracked as part of the Sustainable Development Goals. While investment levels are far from where they need to be, more investors are now recognizing that emerging business models can tap into unrealized market opportunities. Clean cooking companies raised more capital in 2019 than in any year since CCA began tracking investment in the industry.
