🔌Electrification is set to play an ever greater role in the global energy system. As electricity demand grows, #renewables will provide most of the supply powering transport, buildings & industry. @IRENA projects fossil fuels will account for just 15% of final energy consumption

Delighted to see @IRENA data helping shape a global electrification agenda at #COP31. Electrification delivers emissions cuts, shields economies from volatile fossil fuels & drives domestic demand by #renewables at record low cost. Via @POLITOCOEurope ➡️

Tripling #renewables alone will not deliver a 1.5°C-aligned energy transition. Addressing the demand-side and accelerating #electrification across transport, buildings & industry must be part of the solution. @IRENA welcomes a flagship initiative of the #COP31 Presidency Action
