High-Level Launch of Somalia’s National Clean Cooking Strategy 2026–2031

November 10, 2026 · 11:30 am – 12:30 pm Somali Pavilion

Most households in Somalia still cook with charcoal and firewood. This drives deforestation, harms women’s and children’s health through indoor smoke, and adds to greenhouse gas emissions. The National Clean Cooking Strategy 2026–2031 sets out Somalia’s plan to:

  • expand access to cleaner, affordable cooking solutions
  • cut dependence on charcoal
  • protect forests and rangelands
  • open new opportunities for investment and green jobs

At this high-level launch, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources will present the strategy’s vision, priorities and partnership opportunities to the international community at COP31.

Presented by: Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MoEWR)
Date: 10 November 2026 · 11:30 – 12:30 (TRT)
Venue: Somalia Pavilion, Stand B175, COP31 Antalya, Türkiye
