COP31 Electrification Pledge Puts 35% Global Power Target at Center of Antalya Talks - FINCHANNEL
The voluntary pledge would leave national pathways flexible while urging governments to expand grids, storage and finance to speed electrification.
- At the United Nations climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, campaigners protested against nuclear energy, with activist Gabriel Sheunopa Manyangadze holding a placard reading "No nuclear spin, let renewables win."
- Environmental concerns regarding radioactive waste disposal persist; South Africa's Vaalputs facility handles waste remaining radioactive for up to 300,000 years, fueling activist opposition.
- Amos Wemanya, a senior climate advisor at Power Shift Africa, noted that nuclear plants take "a very long time to build," while Africa needs energy "as soon as possible" for development.
- The COP31 presidency is advocating for a "35x35" target to increase electricity's share of final energy consumption to 35% by 2035, while proponents push for nuclear reactor expansion.
- Climate disasters like Fukushima and Chernobyl underscore safety concerns for activists; with roughly 85% of Sub-Saharan Africa's population lacking electricity, campaigners contend renewables offer faster, safer development.
