Countries on the fence over COP31’s flagship target

As world leaders gather for the U.N. climate conference in Antalya, Turkey, the success of the 35x35 electricity pledge is uncertain. The Turkish government hosted a ministerial meeting to promote their goal of increasing electricity's share of global energy consumption to 35% by 2035. However, only a few countries have openly supported this initiative, with many major economies remaining silent. A diplomat indicated that currently, only about twelve nations are willing to commit to the pledge.
