The COP31 co-presidency of Australia and Turkey has proposed the “35 by 35” target to increase electricity’s share of global final energy demand to 35% by 2035.
The proposal was announced during the Bonn Climate Meeting held in Bonn, Germany.
It aims to raise electricity’s share from the current level of about 20–23% of global final energy consumption.
The target focuses on increasing electrification in sectors such as buildings, transport, and industry.
It is part of the COP31 Action Agenda, a non-binding initiative under the United Nations climate process.
The proposal supports the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
