Saving Lives and the Planet
Recognizing the urgency of the climate challenge, Carbonibus has developed carbon offset projects centered on households and communities, presenting a unique opportunity to uplift UN least developed countries (LDCs) from poverty while curbing CO2 emissions in a cost-effective manner.
In Liberia, a country facing the devastating consequences of traditional cooking methods that rely on energy-inefficient charcoal stoves and three-stone fires, Carbonibus has introduced a life-changing initiative. The Liberia Clean Cookstove Program has been designed in collaboration with Envirofit, a leading manufacturer of energy-efficient cookstoves based in the United States.
The impact of this program is far-reaching, saving lives, protecting the environment, and supporting Liberia's progress towards multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 3,000 people die annually in Liberia due to toxic smoke associated with traditional cooking methods. However, Carbonibus' clean cookstoves have proven to reduce carbon emissions by over 60% and toxic smoke by more than 75%.
The positive social impact of this initiative is profound, as it not only addresses the climate crisis but also targets critical issues like poverty and gender equality. The use of clean cookstoves means reduced fuel consumption, providing financial relief to households, and empowering women who often bear the burden of traditional cooking practices, thus breaking the cycle of poverty.
A Game-Changer for Liberia
In an inspiring statement, Kate Bakal who leads Carbonibus cookstove distribution program in Liberia shared her vision, "We believe the climate crisis is the challenge to focus on. We also realized that we can save the planet and at the same time improve the lives of millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa by developing carbon offset projects focused on households and communities."
Carbonibus' resolute vision aligns seamlessly with the goals of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, which strives to foster the adoption of clean cookstoves and fuels in 100 million households worldwide. The alliance recognizes that household air pollution leads to a staggering 4 million deaths annually, underscoring the urgency of the clean cooking movement.
The Liberia Clean Cookstove Program is a testament to Carbonibus' commitment to a sustainable future, driven by a sense of responsibility and guided by the highest ethical standards. The organization's investment in talent, experience, and technology ensures the success of these transformative projects.
With their pioneering clean cookstove program already making a significant impact in Liberia, Carbonibus sets a precedent for sustainable change. Carbonibus continues to be a catalyst for positive transformation in Sub-Saharan Africa by saving lives, reducing emissions, and empowering communities.
Conclusion
Carbonibus is committed to saving the planet and improving the lives of millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa through innovative carbon offset projects. By developing clean cookstove programs and other sustainable initiatives, Carbonibus aims to uplift least developed countries from poverty while addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change.
