Turkey’s COP31 presidency seeks pledge to electrify over a third of global economy by 2035
Turkey’s COP31 presidency is asking nations to support a pledge to electrify more than a third of the global economy by 2035, up from around a fifth today. The proposal comes as the two-week UN climate conference opens in Turkey and summit leaders urge faster action against global warming. Climate advocates have criticised the pledge because it does not require the additional electricity to come from low-carbon sources.
