Through our official role with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), SCI brings frontline stories, research, and real-world evidence into global decision-making spaces. Our advocacy helps move solar cooking from the margins to the center of international policy — influencing funding, shaping climate and development strategies, and accelerating access to renewable energy for underserved communities.

Through consistent global advocacy, solar cooking is now recognized as a powerful tool for climate resilience, gender equity, and sustainable development. Each year, our presence helps unlock new partnerships, expand funding opportunities, and strengthen momentum for clean cooking worldwide.

Solar cooking supports all 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals — improving health, reducing poverty, protecting forests, advancing gender equality, and cutting carbon emissions. Our advocacy ensures that this solution remains visible, valued, and scalable.
