This open letter welcomes the COP31 Presidency’s proposal to place a global target of 35% electrification of final energy demand by 2035 as a key element of COP31, and the growing political momentum behind electrification. However, the signatories emphasize that electrification is a means, rather than an end, towards a zero carbon future and that their support for the proposed target is contingent on a broader set of measures and commitment which are outlined in detail.
