UK backs Türkiye COP31 electrification pledge

The UK has announced its backing for Türkiye’s COP31 ‘35 by 35’ electrification pledge and published a clean electrification roadmap.

• The pledge aims to raise electricity’s share of global energy use from less than a quarter to more than one-third by 2035, aligned with UN goals to triple renewables, double energy efficiency, and transition away from fossil fuels by 2030.
• The UK said it has also published a clean electrification roadmap and cited domestic progress including more than £110 billion of clean energy investment announced since July 2024, support for the Warm Homes Plan, and measures including rooftop solar, community energy projects, EVs, and plug-in solar.
