Penn State Assistant Professor Emily Pakhtigian presents on recent research as part of the New Energy: Conversations with Early-Career Energy Researchers series. 

Between 2007 and 2013, the Indonesian Government instituted a national cooking fuel conversion program, transitioning households away from biomass and kerosene and towards liquid petroleum gas (LPG) through adjustments to kerosene and LPG subsidies. In this talk, Penn State's Emily Pakhtigian will discuss the household and individual impacts of this large-scale cooking transition. In particular, she will focus on the impacts of early-life policy-induced improved indoor air quality on children’s cognitive development and health. As countries around the world look to improve climate and health through clean energy transitions, understanding the social impacts of such policies is essential for developing efficient, equitable, and sustainable policies.
