Move to end deadly cooking methods

PARIS, May 13 (AFP): Fifty countries are meeting in France on Tuesday to discuss the lack of access to clean cooking methods worldwide which causes millions of deaths every year and fuels global warming.
Some 2.3 billion people across 128 countries breathe in harmful smoke when they cook on basic stoves or over open fires, according to an International Energy Agency (IEA)-African Development Bank (ADB) report that sounded the alarm last year.
It said 3.7 million people a year die prematurely from harmful cooking practices, with children and women most at risk.
