What happened
Over 30 members of the Energy Transitions Commission signed a letter urging COP31 President Murat Kurum and President of Negotiations Chris Bowen to center clean electrification and hard-to-electrify sectors in the climate summit's outcome. The signatories stated that current policies put the world on a course for 2.6°C of warming by 2100.

Why it matters
The letter argues that while clean electrification and phasing down coal could reduce projected warming to 2.3°C, reaching below 2°C requires policy action across heavy industry, aviation, shipping, and methane emissions. Achieving 1.8°C or 1.5°C requires significant policy support and exponential growth in carbon removals.
