| − | | + | This webinar on sustainable cooking fuels and technologies will provide a high level overview on clean cooking in humanitarian settings. In addition, two case studies will provide a deep dive into work on the ground: the UNHCR will present its experiences from Bangladesh, focusing on the planning and implementation of LPG interventions as well as demonstrating the benefits of LPG for people's lives. The International Lifeline Fund will give an overview of their different approaches to providing cooking energy in Uganda and share their experiences about what works or doesn't work and why. |

| − | As FOODandFUEL consultant Christa Roth advocates for the sustainable utilisation of solid biomass as food and/or fuel in appropriate end-user devices for different thermal energy needs. Christa points out that ‚clean burning‘ is not stove-property but a result of a cooking energy system where the user, the fuel quality and the ventilation setting matter sometimes more than the stove. She shares her extensive field experience in Food and Biomass Fuel Security e.g. in ‘Stove Camps’ around the world to enhance sustainable access to renewable household energy solutions for the target groups in need.

Today, over 130 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance due to conflict, natural disasters, and other complex global challenges. For many of these people, access to energy sources is critical for survival, and how they access it impacts their health, livelihoods, safety, and well-being.
Energy access for displaced people is not prioritized in the global humanitarian system. Current energy practices in situations of displacement are often inefficient, polluting, unsafe for users, and harmful to the surrounding environment. Moreover, institutional humanitarian operations such as water pumping, community lighting, and health clinics rely heavily on unsustainable fossil fuels, costing hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Given the complex nature of humanitarian response and the challenges of integrating sustainable energy solutions into the humanitarian program cycle, there is not just one solution but a need for systemic actions to mobilise resources, build capacity and use the opportunity for sustainable energy solutions to enhance impact in sectors such as health, protection, food security, and WASH. read more
Against this background, key actors involved in displacement settings developed in 2018 the Global Plan of Action for Sustainable Energy Solutions in Situations of Displacement (GPA). It’s mission is to equip stakeholders with the capacity to mainstream sustainable energy solutions into programming, with the goal of delivering improved protection, dignity, and energy-related social, environmental, and economic benefits to displaced people.
As part of the outreach and capacity building activities of this movement, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) together with the Steering Group of the GPA and other partners are conducting a series of webinars on humanitarian energy issues to raise awareness and spread knowledge about different technologies, best practices and impacts.
