Climate Home News · By Matteo Civillini ·
The Brief
- More than a dozen countries, including Germany, South Korea, Pakistan and several small island states, have publicly backed the Turkish COP31 presidency's flagship electrification pledge.
- The pledge is voluntary and aims to raise electricity's share of global final energy consumption.
- Support comes with caveats on clean power and on finance.
