The second meeting took place in October 2022 to discuss and identify concrete actions to accelerate clean cooking and electrification of health-care facilities in countries, building on the priorities identified in the Strategic Roadmap on Health and Energy. The outcome of the second meeting was a Call to Action to increase climate resilience of health-care facilities & air quality through sustainable energy. All coalition members endorsed this document and urged the international community gathering at COP27 to make every effort to accelerate clean and sustainable energy access for health-care facilities and households.
"Women's health, livelihood and wellbeing are greatly interlinked with access to electricity and clean cooking technologies. They play a pivotal role in supplying clean energy services, including clean cooking solutions, and raising awareness on the use of these services. However, women as entrepreneurs, users and decision-makers are strongly under-represented at all levels and they are disproportionately impacted by the unequal access to these services. This has severe consequences on their health, income, employment and empowerment. If we want to reduce the number of people relying on traditional fuels by 2030 and protect the health of women, men and young people, we need to intensify the efforts and scale up our actions. Substantial investments in clean energy businesses, public and private support to adopt clean cooking and sustainable energy services in health facilities, political drive and adequate representation of women at the negotiation table will be needed to achieve universal access to clean cooking solutions. We cannot achieve the targets of SDG7 on energy, including clean cooking, without a holistic approach that tackles gender issues in the sector and supports the integration of gender in energy policies."
"Supporting access to health services and to clean and sustainable energy can transform and rebuild lives. The inclusion of refugees and other displaced populations in national systems and plans will not only improve their protection and wellbeing, but it is also an investment in our collective future."
