Turkey will propose a global target for electricity to meet 35% of world energy demand by 2035 to reduce fossil fuel reliance. The voluntary goal, part of the nation's preparations to host the COP31 U.N. climate conference, aims to nearly double the current 20% share of electricity in the global energy mix. The initiative seeks to shift transport, heavy industries, and home heating away from oil, coal, and gas toward electric technologies.
