Letโs connect, exchange ideas, and shape urban futures together. #AUF2026#LEARN
Across panels and group discussions, several cross-cutting reflections emerged:
New technologies and market innovations mean we must rethink outdated assumptions.
Definitions matter: What do we mean byโฏclean,โฏmodern, orโฏsustainableโฏcharcoal?
When evidence is neutral, how is policy framed?
That's the question driving our conversations today on sustainable charcoal transitions.
#charcoal#EnergyTransition#EnergySecurity
Did you know? As much as 68.7% of Kenyan households could potentially adopt eCooking, an opportunity for clean energy transitions. Today, we're kicking off a critical conversation: co-creating a policy action agenda for sustainable charcoal transitions.
Stay tuned for outcomes.
Key points included the need for a common language and understanding among stakeholders, the importance of aligning innovation with local needs, and the role of grants and subsidies in supporting agtech startups.
