Ghana’s second lady Hajia Samira Bawumia has been announced as one of Sustainable Energy for All’s (SEforAll) #SevenFor7 honorees – a celebration of seven different climate heroes from around the world working in energy and health.
Seven for 7 will take place on the sidelines of the critically important 2019 Climate Action Summit being convened by the UN Secretary-General. Seven for 7 is to recognize those who are making a significant contribution to increasing the speed and scale required to meet Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) which calls for universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. Mrs. Bawumia will be honoured on September 23, 2019.
Mrs Bawumia is a Clean Cooking Ambassador and has been a dedicated advocate for women and girls worldwide. She has worked relentlessly to improve the lives of those affected by gender inequalities, climate change, and other global issues.
As a global ambassador for the Clean Cooking Alliance, she uses her platform to raise awareness on the issue of clean cooking and help promote the adoption of clean cooking solutions in Ghana, where nearly 80% of the population is reliant on inefficient fuels such as wood, charcoal, coal, and kerosene to cook their food.
