A third of world’s energy needs should come from electricity by 2035, says Cop31 host

The host of the upcoming Cop31 climate summit has proposed that a third of the world’s energy needs should be met by electricity by 2035 to reduce emissions. Currently, about 20% of final energy demand comes from electricity, with most energy still derived from fossil fuels. The plan emphasizes electrifying transport, heating, and industry using existing technologies like electric vehicles and heat pumps. This shift is seen as a key strategy to transition to a low-carbon future and address both climate change and energy security.
