Sustainable Development Goals
In addition to delivering emissions reductions to help take urgent action to combat climate change (SDG 13), the project delivers a number of other sustainable development benefits. These include:
- Affordable and Clean Energy: This large-scale project is helping more than 300,000 people by replacing older stoves in almost 100,000 households. The solar cookers completely displace older, inefficient fossil fuel-fired stoves through the use of renewable energy. The solar cookers eliminate the need for fuel during much of the year, reducing household expenditure for heating and cooking. Estimated annual savings are RMB 300 (US $50), which is more than 10% of the annual income of the poorest households.
- Good Health and Wellbeing for People: Complete displacement of all other fuel use brings a reduction in indoor air pollution providing significant health benefits including reduced incidences of respiratory-related diseases, particularly for women and children who are most frequently exposed.
