Carbon Market Regulations and Clean Cooking

<p dir="ltr">This is the second of three blogs that talk about the convergence of COP28 aspirations, the Carbon Market Regulations, and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) on cooking. This blog provides a snapshot of the carbon market regulations in relation to clean cooking promotion for some of the clean cooking early mover countries – Nepal, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, and Uganda. All the countries mentioned have expressed their willingness to engage with the Paris Agreement Article 6 cooperative approaches in their NDCs. Nepal was one of the early movers, with the preparation of its Environment Protection Act, 2019 (Cl. 28) and subsequent Environment Protection Regulation, 2020. The regulation however only details the procedures for projects under the UN Clean Development Mechanism and does not spell out requirements for Article 6 and voluntary standards.</p><p dir="ltr">Originally published on <a href="https://mecs.org.uk/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Modern Energy Cooking Services</a>.</p><p dir="ltr">© Loughborough University</p>
