Webinar—Decarbonization Pathway Spotlight: Clean and Improved Cookstoves
RegisterAbout This Event
Clean and improved cookstove crediting projects are among the oldest, highest-volume, and most scrutinized crediting types in the voluntary carbon market. Key questions remain: How accurately can impacts be measured? Will recent methodological updates address market concerns about quality? And how much of today’s critique reflects current evidence versus outdated assumptions?
To clarify these questions, RMI recently published a technical explainer examining risks to quality and emerging best practices for identifying high-integrity cookstove projects.
This webinar builds on that analysis and convenes experts for a candid conversation about what people often get wrong about cookstove credits–and what robust program design looks like in practice today.
Panelists will explore:
- How local context and user behavior shape crediting outcomes
- What monitoring tools can – and cannot – reasonably deliver
- Where buyers tend to over- or under-index on quality and risk
- What has meaningfully changed in cookstove program design, and what fundamentals still matter
The panel will explore how the cookstove carbon credit market is evolving and share practical insights for buyers, developers, and auditors navigating this changing landscape.
