The campaign highlights the devastating human and environmental costs of current climate finance policies hindering Africa’s transition from harmful traditional cooking fuels. It calls for immediate LPG exemption, warning that failure could cost hundreds of thousands of lives, accelerate deforestation, and deepen global inequalities.
“Just Stop Cooking” highlights the absurdity of policies denying Africans access to LPG while Europe continues to expand its fossil fuel infrastructure. At the core of the campaign is a critique of carbon colonialism—a system where the Global South is penalized for emissions it didn’t cause.
A report of the same name, Just Stop Cooking, was also launched. Its foreword, by Hon. Issifu Seidu, Ghana’s first Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability, describes the campaign as “an urgent call for justice” and reiterates Ghana’s commitment to LPG. “Denying African countries concessional financing for LPG in the name of climate is a grave injustice,” Hon. Seidu stated. “We must put saving lives before ideology.”
