COP31 host Turkey says NATO nations should spend "much more" on climate than defense. President-designate Murat Kurum wants funds beyond the 5% of GDP defense goal for 2035, calling climate "the security issue itself." #COP31#Climate#Energy
The IEA says electricity could reach 33% of global final energy consumption by 2035, up from 23% today. COP31 leaders want to push that to 35% as energy-security concerns accelerate electrification. #Energy#Electrification#COP31#Power
