Clean Cooking Support Act

Bill 117 HR 6316, also known as the Clean Cooking Support Act, aims to address the issue of indoor air pollution caused by traditional cooking methods in developing countries. The bill recognizes that over 3 billion people worldwide rely on solid fuels such as wood, charcoal, and dung for cooking, which can lead to serious health problems and environmental degradation.

The Clean Cooking Support Act seeks to promote the use of clean cooking technologies and fuels by providing funding for research, development, and implementation of these solutions. The bill also aims to increase access to clean cooking technologies for vulnerable populations, such as women and children, who are disproportionately affected by indoor air pollution.

Additionally, the bill calls for the establishment of a Clean Cooking Fund, which will support initiatives to improve access to clean cooking technologies and fuels in developing countries. The fund will be used to provide grants, loans, and technical assistance to organizations working to address the issue of indoor air pollution. Overall, the Clean Cooking Support Act is a bipartisan effort to address a pressing global health and environmental issue. By promoting the use of clean cooking technologies and fuels, the bill aims to improve the health and well-being of millions of people around the world while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.
