Türkiye Proposes Global Target to Increase Electricity Share in World Energy Demand
What happened
At the mid-year UN climate meeting in Bonn, Türkiye announced a new "35x35" global electrification target. This proposal aims to increase the share of electricity in the world's overall energy demand from just over 20% currently to 35% by 2035. The target is designed to support the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

Why it matters
The goal is to accelerate the shift away from direct fossil fuels, such as oil and gas, toward clean electricity from renewables and nuclear power. This shift across buildings, transport, and industry is intended to protect businesses and families from volatile energy markets.
Talks in Bonn are currently addressing the implementation challenges of the Paris Agreement goals, which are being led by the UN climate chief.
