WATCH LIVE: COP31 Day 2 as Turkey Pushes Global Electricity Target Amid Climate Concerns
The second day of the COP31 climate summit gets underway in Antalya, Turkey, as countries debate the future of global energy and climate action.
Turkey is pushing to place a major electrification target at the centre of the conference’s final agreement: increasing electricity’s share of global energy consumption to 35% by 2035, up from around 20% today.
The proposal aims to accelerate the shift away from fossil-fuel-powered vehicles, heating systems and appliances. However, climate advocates warn that increasing electricity use alone may not cut emissions unless the additional power comes from renewable and other low-carbon sources.
With nearly 200 countries represented at COP31, the debate raises a crucial question: can the world accelerate electrification while ensuring the transition is genuinely clean?
