01 The context
Fundación Natura installed around 2.000 stoves in Antioquia and Santander (starting December 2013, 30 months) and some 1.350 in municipalities of Norte de Santander, with locally sourced materials and training for the families. Each stove reduces firewood consumption by up to 35% and lowers exposure to indoor smoke. The work led to a methodological guide with Gold Standard criteria and to inputs for the roadmap of a national NAMA for improved stoves; Natura is a member of the Mesa Nacional de Estufas Eficientes and reports more than 4.000 stoves in the Andean region.
