??? Today, Stephanie Montero, our expert in air quality and health, was part of the Plenary panel: Prioritizing gender & women’s empowerment in super pollutant mitigation, which took place within the framework of the Climate and Clean Air Conference 2025 of the Climate & Clean Air Coalition in Brasilia. Alongside other experts, discussions focused on the efforts made by various organizations and projects to mitigate #SuperPollutants with a #GenderFocus, as well as key recommendations for their successful approach. ???? Stephanie highlighted the impacts on time savings, health, and role changes that cooking with electricity instead of firewood means for women, which is part of the results of a pilot that served as the basis for the project 'Regional Strategy for a Just and Inclusive Transition to Net-Zero Cooking: Rethinking Approaches to Drive Transformative Change in Central America and the Dominican Republic'. This project is being promoted by the Clean Air Institute, PAHO, UNEP, SECOMISCA, CCAD, the MARN of El Salvador and CCAC at this important event. ??
