Türkiye to Present Global Electrification Pledge at COP31
What happened
Türkiye plans to present the 35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge initiative at the COP31 conference in Antalya. An analytical review by BMI, a division of Fitch Solutions, forecasts that electricity's share of global final energy consumption will reach 27.9% by 2035, which is below the 35% target proposed by the COP31 Presidency. The pledge Türkiye intends to present does not require mandatory national targets for participating countries.

Why it matters
The pledge addresses the global energy transition, though BMI notes that oil, gas, and coal will still account for a significant share of additional energy demand over the next decade, particularly in emerging markets. The International Energy Agency supports the 35% target, estimating the current share of electricity in global final energy consumption at around 23%.
