Abstract
The workshop objectives were to promote communication among energy researchers, practitioners and policymakers, and to establish a platform for jointly framing the perception of scientific evidence among these stakeholder and policy-making groups. The report provides a review of sessions and discussions about the energy sector in Nigeria. For instance, erroneously subsuming cooking energy solutions under ‘access to electricity’ risks ignoring the realities of millions of women and girls (whose experiences of energy interventions often differ from those of men in the same context). These become missed opportunities to address the unique threats to climate change presented by ‘dirty’ cooking.
