The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the annual meeting of nations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), where global strategies to address climate change are negotiated. Solar cooking can play a vital role in these efforts by utilizing sunlight to prepare food, reducing reliance on wood, charcoal, or fossil fuels. This not only lowers greenhouse gas emissions but also combats deforestation and indoor air pollution, aligning with the sustainability goals championed at COP30.

Solar Cookers International hosted a number of side events at this year's COP30 in Belém, Brazil from 10 to 21 November 2025, advocating for clean energy solutions that empower communities worldwide. SCI representatives included Executive Director Caitlyn Hughes, Program and Science Director Alan Bigelow Ph.D., and Strategic Partnerships Manager Keith Wingeard, Below are interviews and panel discussions they participated in.
