The world should increase electricity's share of final energy consumption to 35% by 2035, International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol has told Euronews in an exclusive interview, as he urged governments to reduce their reliance fossil ahead of COP31.
Speaking on On the Record with Maria Tadeo, Birol urged leaders at the climate summit in Turkey this week to accelerate electrification to strengthen energy sovereignty, particularly in the EU, which remains exposed to global energy market volatility despite efforts to diversify away from Russian supplies.
