Swissinfo reports from the Peruvian Andes on Tuki Wasi, a Swiss-funded cookstove project operating under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. The program has distributed improved stoves to roughly 35,000 households, cutting wood use and improving indoor air for children and adults. But six years after it launched, many beneficiaries still live in extreme poverty, with limited income, crumbling stoves, and little understanding of the carbon credit system they are part of. Switzerland counts the emissions reductions as ITMOs to help meet its 2030 climate target. Tuki Wasi's estimated reductions are only a small share of the 34 million tonnes Switzerland plans to offset abroad. The article also covers the slow pace of project authorisation, the Klik Foundation's warning about the 2030 investment cutoff, and Peru's demand that Article 6 projects complement national policy rather than replace it. For anyone tracking carbon market integrity, the piece is useful because it separates the health co-benefit from the poverty claim. It also shows the gap between formal carbon accounting and what households actually experience on the ground.
