Watch a short video summarising the kitchen guidance for mitigating exposure to cooking emissions in kitchens of low-middle income homes from GCARE here.
We all take clean air for granted, particularly when we are in the kitchen – a room that is central in many people's homes across the world. Our guidance is now available in 17 different languages, a fact that demonstrates that we are passionate about passing on this knowledge to as many people as possible."
The Heat-Cool programme is also run by GCARE. This is a programme that focuses on enhancing local community's understanding of urban heat and our role and responsibilities in combatting climate change. Read more here.
