Jorge Moreira da Silva na COP31: meta de electrificação exige duplicar renováveis

Jorge Moreira da Silva emphasized the need to double renewable energy annually to increase electricity's share in final energy consumption from 23% to 35% by 2035. This goal, part of the COP31 agenda, aims to replace fossil fuels with electricity in transport, industry, and buildings. Significant investments in infrastructure are required, particularly to boost electric mobility and energy storage. He highlighted Portugal's experience in renewable energy as beneficial for international cooperation. The COP31 also focuses on reviewing emission reduction targets and ensuring that developed nations support vulnerable countries in climate adaptation efforts. The conference, held in Antalya, Turkey, will conclude on November 20, 2026.
