The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the ŠKODA Division of MAW Enterprises Private Limited have entered into a partnership to improve air quality in Nepal and raise awareness of the source of black carbon and its negative health and environmental impacts.
As part of the one-year partnership, complementing ICIMOD’s work on atmospheric issues in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region, 300 smoke-free cook stoves will be bought for households in Makwanpur District.
