About the event
The COP31 Türkiye Presidency’s 35 by 35 initiative aims to increase electricity’s share of final energy demand to 35% by 2035, supporting global climate goals under the Paris Agreement. Achieving this ambition will require reliable, affordable, secure, and low-carbon electricity systems. This session will explore the role of nuclear energy in supporting expanded end-use electrification, including the policy and regulatory frameworks, innovative financing mechanisms, and investment approaches needed to accelerate deployment of firm low-carbon power infrastructure.
Hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the discussion will be moderated by Alvin Jose (IAEA) and feature Arunendra Kumar Tiwari (The Energy and Resources Institute), Zulfikar Yurnaidi (ASEAN Centre for Energy), and Lea Romm (Clean Air Task Force).
