The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 3 million people still rely on solid biomass for cooking and heating and generally use inefficient and polluting stoves. The most recent study on the Global Burden of Disease estimates 4 million deaths a year from diseases associated with household air pollution. In addition, the reliance on firewood and charcoal puts significant pressure on women, local livelihoods and forest resources.
