In 2023, fossil fuels supplied over 80% of total primary energy. By 2035, growing #electrification across transport, buildings & industry helps drive a structural decline in fossil fuel use under @IRENA’s revised 1.5°C Scenario. Discover the full analysis & explore the pathway in the report 👉 bit.ly/4e0FsUs @turkiyecop31

The COP31 Presidency is delighted to be a part of the #ElectrifyNow campaign launched today during @london_climate. Electrify Now is a global platform to accelerate the rate of electrification of the global economy, and brings together governments, including the COP30 Presidency of Brazil, the COP31 Presidency of Türkiye and President of Negotiations Australia, the COP32 Presidency of Ethiopia, the European Commission, Canada, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom, with international agencies, business groups, and civil society, including the @IEA, @IRENA @GRA and @E3G. We are delighted to see the Electrify Now campaign welcome the #COP31 Presidency's Action Agenda target of meeting 35% of final energy consumption with electricity by 2035. #COP31 #LCAW26

Electrification, supported by #renewables & energy efficiency, is emerging as a central lever for turning global commitments into implementation. Expanding #electrification across end-use sectors can reduce fossil fuel demand while improving affordability & strengthening #energysecurity. Ahead of @turkiyecop31 in Antalya, @IRENA’s roadmap calls for a global electrification target of 35% by 2035 to accelerate the transition. More➡️ bit.ly/4e0FsUs
