One of the most effective climate solutions is how we power everyday life. ⚡

Electrification replaces the direct use of oil, gas and coal with electricity that can be supplied by cleaner and increasingly affordable sources.

It is a game changer, with the potential to strengthen economies, improve living standards, and accelerate the move away from fossil fuels.

It can also reduce exposure to volatile fuel markets and strengthen energy security, as energy costs and supply disruptions continue to shape economies and daily life.

Today, electricity accounts for just over 20% of global energy use. A target announced at the aims to increase that to 35% by 2035.

Reaching that level could bring clean energy deeper into the economy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and strengthening resilience.
