The "35x35" global electrification target proposed by the COP31 co-presidency of Turkey and Australia aims to increase electricity’s share of global final energy demand from the current 20% to 35% by 2035. The initiative is supported by analyses from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and is intended to help countries align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Greater electrification is considered essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating the transition to clean energy, improving energy efficiency, and supporting long-term global climate objectives.
