The European Union has backed Turkey’s target of raising electricity’s share of global energy use to 35% by 2035, as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged other countries to adopt the goal at the UN climate summit in Antalya.
Electricity currently accounts for about 23% of global energy use, according to the report. Turkey, host of the summit, is seeking support for the target.
Von der Leyen also repeated the EU’s own aim for electricity to make up 46% of energy use by 2040. She said Europe should ultimately become the first continent to run entirely on electricity.
