Redefining Health through Cleaner Energy
Solutions. In the Lao People’s Democratic Republic household
air pollution from the incomplete combustion of solid fuels
is the top health risk, costing some 3.5 percent of GDP in
lost productivity. To increase access to modern cooking and
heating solutions in East Asia, the World Bank introduced a
Clean Stove Initiative in 2012. Pilot projects were begun in
China, Indonesia, and Mongolia, as well as Lao PDR. One of
the first challenges was the need to bring all relevant
ministries and stakeholders on board to help recognize the
urgency of the problem and the magnitude of suffering that
was occurring as a result of household air pollution. The
other was to link the health situation with the need for a
clean energy solution.
