font-size: 10pt;">There have been a number of very exciting developments for the Alliance and the clean cookstoves and fuels sector over the last few weeks. In the U.S., Senator Susan Collins introduced the "Clean Cookstoves Support Act," with Senator Dick Durbin’s support, which strengthens the U.S. Government’s commitment to the adoption of clean cookstoves around the world and, if passed, would require the Secretary of State to advance the goals of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I was also very pleased to have the opportunity to meet with Minister Xie Zhenhua of China’s National Development and Reform Commission at our offices in Washington, D.C. where we discussed opportunities for further collaboration, growth of the cookstoves and fuels market in China and the the role that clean cookstoves and fuels can play in China’s work on south-south collaboration and climate change mitigation.</p><p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In addition, the Alliance held a Guatemala Country Action Planning workshop in partnership with the Guatemalan Ministry of Energy, the Guatemalan Cluster of Improved Cookstoves and Clean Fuels, and the World Bank. And in Switzerland, the Alliance helped convene partners at the Gold Standard Conference that are involved in cookstoves carbon products for a discussion of the Alliance’s strategy to stimulate demand for carbon credits and advance our climate finance strategy.</p></td></tr><tr style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

The Alliance’s goal calls for 100 million households to adopt clean and efficient stoves and fuels by 2020. The Alliance is working with over 900 public, private, and non-profit partners to help overcome the market barriers that currently impede the production, deployment, and use of clean cookstoves and fuels in the developing world.</p></td></tr><tr style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><td colspan="2" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><table border="0" width="635" bgcolor="#113546" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><tbody><tr style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><td style="font-family: helvetica, Arial; font-size: 10pt; padding: 20px;"><div style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(44, 201, 199);">©2014 United Nations Foundations</div><div style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 10px; color: rgb(44, 201, 199);"><a href="http://www.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/site/CO?i=Yd0Mz7guyoXJD3pzX7J9e0lvlcvAXkhA&cid=2062" style="color: rgb(44, 201, 199); text-decoration: none;">Unsubscribe |</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/site/CO?i=oKRFq2b7HPwBZUbp-AIeoRxnl1WSztm4&cid=2062" style="color: rgb(44, 201, 199); text-decoration: none;">Update Subscription Preferences |</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a title="View in browser" href="http://www.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/site/R?i=JLf_LKRPCy92riBpzu7W-g" style="color: rgb(44, 201, 199); text-decoration: none;">View in Browser</a></div></td><td width="150" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><img src="http://www.cleancookstoves.org/assets/newsletter-images/logo-unf.png" alt="Logo Unf" width="146" height="41" style="padding: 20px;"></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><div id="cv-poweredBy" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/site/R?i=e-CrrHxRUyFQ49TluR55nw" title="online fundraising, advocacy & donor database" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://www.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/images/powered_by_convio.gif" alt="powered by Blackbaud" style="border: none;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></a><br><a href="http://www.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/site/R?i=VASWT0Al06Q_jkJWiKjLKw" title="Nonprofit Fundraising Software" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; text-decoration: none;">nonprofit software</a></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
