Clean cookstoves may be competitive with GiveWell-recommended charities
Effective Altruism Forum, February 9, 2020
Abstract
This is a very quick, rough model of the cost-effectiveness of promoting clean cookstoves in the developing world. It suggests that if a clean cookstove intervention is successful, it may have roughly the same ballpark of cost-effectiveness as a GiveWell-recommended charity; and that C.90% of the impact comes from directly saving lives, in a model which reflected saving lives and climate change impact.
