> The UN climate conference COP31 is due to open on Monday in Antalya, Türkiye. Ankara has launched a non-binding “35 by 35” pledge to make electricity account for at least 35 percent of global energy demand by 2035. Supporters say electrification can advance renewables and energy security, while climate advocates criticize the pledge for not requiring new electricity to come from low-carbon sources.
