ANTALYA, Turkey — The EU climate chief has signaled the bloc is prepared to give up on a key clean energy demand at this year's COP conference, in a bid to get more countries on board with an electrification push. A global agreement on accelerating electrification — by increasing electricity's share in energy use — has been touted as a way to address both worsening climate change and soaring fuel prices resulting from the Iran war. Countries at the COP31 climate summit in Antalya are currently debating whether they can reach a consensus on the issue in the conference's final decision. The Turkish-Australian hosts have also urged countries to sign a voluntary pledge to boost electrification.
