What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The International Energy Agency and International Renewable Energy Agency are preparing a "35-by-35" pledge for the COP31 summit in Antalya, Turkey. This plan aims to increase the share of electricity in the overall global energy mix to 35 per cent by 2035, up from roughly 20-23 per cent currently. The initiative builds on the COP28 target to triple renewable capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. The urgency for electrification is being accelerated by the West Asia crisis and climate-related disasters.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The global push for electrification signals a major shift away from fossil fuel dependence, driven partly by geopolitical risks in the Middle East. The plan aims to guide energy-consuming nations, such as India, toward transforming into electrostates. This global goal is intended to keep the 1.5-degree Celsius warming target within reach.

Global energy discussions are currently affected by the energy crisis stemming from the Middle East war and associated geopolitical risks.
