CDM Radio Stories for Africa: Wood Stoves in Nigeria

This ‘broadcast-ready’ radio story has been produced by the UNFCCC secretariat for dissemination to radio stations in Africa, with the aim to make the CDM understandable and accessible to a broad audience. It stresses that in Nigeria, firewood consumption has led to severe deforestation and desertification. Highly efficient wood stoves are helping to tackle this problem. Households are saving money, youth are finding employment, and time that used to be spent collecting wood is now going to income generation.
