Article Synopsis
- Traditional cooking methods in Nepal lead to health issues, gender inequality, and environmental harm, with over half the population still relying on these fuels despite minimal adoption of electric cooking.
- This study employs geospatial modeling to create a roadmap for transitioning to clean cooking, analyzing various cooking technologies and considering stakeholder preferences to prioritize areas for policy implementation.
- Using up-to-date geospatial data, the study evaluates different scenarios for clean cooking policies, identifying necessary investments and potential benefits for the national-scale transition in Nepal.
