COP31 in Turkey: Leaders Seek Deal to Boost Electricity and Cut Fossil Fuels

thestar.com.my — November 11, 2026 at 04:01 AM UTC

World leaders are delivering climate speeches at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, on Wednesday, as negotiators seek a deal to boost electricity's share of global energy and revive fossil fuel transition efforts. Delegates from nearly 200 countries are meeting amid rising emissions and competing crises, with a UN report showing the world on track to breach the 1.5°C warming limit. Turkey's proposal targets 35% electricity share by 2035 but lacks clean energy requirements. The US skipped talks for a second year under President Trump, while UN chief Guterres urged clear timelines for fossil fuel transition. Brazil's presidency published a roadmap for countries to assess energy systems by 2028 and reduce fossil fuel supply from 2031.
