Air pollution doesn’t just affect our lungs and hearts, it can impact our brains too. New research links PM2.5 exposure to reduced cognitive performance, learning, and memory. Protecting indoor air quality is essential for safeguarding long-term brain health. #cleancooking
Air quality action requires collaboration across science, economics & policy. Join our webinar exploring how better monitoring, forecasting & data sharing can support scalable clean air solutions.

Very useful new resource from @cleancooking that gives insight into how and where governments are thinking about access to cleaner cooking fuels and technologies.
Our new tracker maps how 131 low- and middle-income countries are integrating clean cooking into their climate plans.
Here's where each region stands:
🌍 Sub-Saharan Africa: 98% of countries include clean cooking or household energy measures
🌏 South Asia: 100%
🌏 East Asia & the Pacific: 73%
🌎 Latin America & the Caribbean: 52%
🌍 Middle East & North Africa: 42%
🌍 Europe & Central Asia: 58%
The data points to the importance of clean cooking as an energy and climate solution.

�� It's World Bee Day! Bees play a vital role in healthy ecosystems and food systems. Today we’re celebrating the tiny pollinators that protect the environments we all depend on, from cleaner air to healthier communities. #WorldBeeDay
It's exciting to see smart minds thinking about how to measure gender empowerment more effectively, filling a critical gap in impact evaluation for energy transitions.

🛵 EV readiness across Africa doesn’t automatically translate into adoption.
While several countries show strong fundamentals for electrification, cleaner power systems, clearer utility incentives, uptake remains limited, even in more advanced markets.
At the same time, momentum is building elsewhere. Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda are emerging as innovation hubs, with EV startups testing new business models and supportive policies, particularly in the two-wheeler segment. Scale remains modest, but progress is accelerating.
What this shows is simple: it’s not just about being “ready”. It’s about whether the market works in practice.
Today, business models are hard to replicate, financing does not match what companies need, and systems are not well connected.
As a result, the markets that look most ready are not always the ones scaling fastest.
At Shell Foundation, we are working with partners to test what it takes to make these markets work in practice, and to scale what does.
