COP31 Advances Global Electrification Goal Amid Calls for Mining Safeguards
At the COP31 UN climate summit, global leaders and activists were urged to commit to a '35-by-35' electrification goal, increasing electricity use from 21% to 35% by 2035, primarily from renewable sources. This builds on prior commitments to expand renewable energy and modernize grids. However, environmental and human rights groups warned that the mining surge for necessary minerals risks harming ecosystems and communities, urging safeguards to ensure responsible sourcing during the energy transition.
