That was the clear message coming out of South America last October when more than 100 representatives from governments, NGOs, academia, the media and other key policy makers joined forces at a two day conference - International Meeting on Indoor Air Pollution, Fuel-Efficient Stoves and Sustainable Development - to discuss a way forward to tackle the IAP problem facing as many as 40 million people across Brazil. Opening the event, the first of its kind to be held in the country, was Shell Foundation representative Sanyogita Seksaria. With Brazil being one of five countries the charity has targeted to scale up its commercial model solution to IAP, the Foundation was a major sponsor of the event. Sanyogita, a member of the charitys Breathing Space team, was on hand to urge delegates that rigorous action was required to tackle a problem that had previously been neglected by the authorities, leaving literally millions of people facing premature death. Speaking after the event she said it had the potential to be a defining moment in helping to both raise awareness of the health risks associated with IAP and also increase access to modern energy services for poor households.
