Why electrification is at the heart of COP31 talks

At COP31, nations are urged to prioritize electrification to combat the energy crisis and climate change. Turkey and Australia lead efforts to increase electricity's share in global energy demand to 35% by 2035. A coalition was formed to boost investments in clean electrification, and a declaration on rooftop solar was signed. The focus on electrification has garnered broad support as a means to decarbonize economies and enhance energy security.
