COP31 – UN Climate Change Conference – Antalya – Türkiye

COP31 brings together global leaders, policymakers and climate stakeholders in Antalya, Türkiye, with a strong focus on accelerating electrification as part of the global climate agenda.

Türkiye has introduced the 35-by-35 Global Electrification Pledge, a non-binding initiative aimed at increasing electricity’s share of global energy demand to at least 35% by 2035. The proposal highlights the role of electrification in advancing renewable energy and strengthening energy security.

However, the initiative has also sparked debate over the need to ensure that additional electricity comes from low-carbon sources, raising important questions about the role of electrification in achieving meaningful climate progress.
