New research shows electricity price hikes in Malawi increase firewood use and women and girls’ domestic burden. www.efdinitiative.org/blog/carbon-...

📍Study in #Malawi found that higher electricity prices significantly increased firewood collection, with women and girls bearing the brunt. However, when women have more say in household decisions, firewood use tends to decrease 👇 tinyurl.com/4adp859y #CarbonPricing #ClimateChange #GenderEquality
