The COP31 Presidency’s proposed 35-by-35 pledge aims to increase electricity’s share of global final energy demand to at least 35% by 2035, nearly quadrupling the pace of electrification since 2010.

In this video, @AnumitaRoychowd, Executive Director, Research and Advocacy, CSE, discusses the need for electrification, the opportunities it presents for the Global South, underscoring the need for affordable and accessible climate finance.

Day 1 at #COP31, Antalya: Agenda adopted.

A significant development is the inclusion of the Climate Finance Work Programme under Article 9 as a formal agenda item – a long-standing demand of developing countries.

What does this mean: An official agenda item at a UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) means an issue is part of the formal, legally recognized government negotiations that lead to binding decisions, rules, accountability frameworks, goals under international law (such as the Paris Agreement). If not an agenda item, it can still come up through other routes, such as under other agenda items, informal talks or side events, etc.

COP31 has officially kicked off in Antalya, Türkiye!
