Fig. 1: Cooking-poor populations predicted under two different scenarios.

Percentages of population who are cooking-poor are shown (colour scale) for model regions under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 3 (SSP3), a pessimistic reference growth scenario, with bars depicting additional cooking-poor in millions under the slow COVID-19 pandemic recovery scenario relative to SSP3. Regions depicted are sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, other Pacific Asia, centrally planned Asia and China, former Soviet Union, North America, Central and Eastern Europe, and Western Europe.
