Our Mission

Our objective is to address the causes and reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation with increased interest in solar cooking for everyone worldwide and especially poor countries.

 Humanitarian emergencies from heatwaves, wildfires, floods, tropical storms and hurricanes are increasing in scale, frequency and intensity.

Research shows that 3.6 billion people already live in areas highly susceptible to climate change. Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year, from undernutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress alone.

The direct damage costs to health (excluding costs in health-determining sectors such as agriculture and water and sanitation) is estimated to be between US$ 2–4 billion per year by 2030.

Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases through better transport, food and energy use choices can result in very large gains for health, particularly through reduced air pollution.

Areas with weak health infrastructure – mostly in developing countries – will be the least able to cope without assistance to prepare and respond.
