COP31 negotiators seek wider electrification and a renewed shift away from fossil fuels.

Asharq News reports that COP31 negotiators are seeking agreement to increase electricity’s share of global energy consumption and renew efforts to transition away from fossil fuels. These remain matters under negotiation, not agreed outcomes. Türkiye’s proposed 35% share by 2035, up from a little over 20% currently, is also still under discussion. Asharq News reports criticism that the proposal does not require additional electricity to come from low-carbon sources.
