Should nations prioritize rapid fossil fuel phase-outs even if energy reliability risks persist?
On November 3, 2026, the Cop 30 presidency will publish a global roadmap designed to facilitate the transition away from fossil fuels. This initiative follows the 2023 Cop 28 agreement to triple renewable energy and double energy efficiency by 2030.
Why it matters
This roadmap provides a framework for scaling up electricity's role in global energy consumption from its current 20% share. It serves to implement the long-term international transition targets established at the 2023 climate summit.
The plan targets a 35% share of global electricity consumption by 2035, up from the current 20%. Meanwhile, Brazil is projected to increase its crude oil production to 4.9mn b/d by 2030, rising from the current 4.5mn b/d.
The players
Cop 30 Presidency
The leadership body responsible for hosting the climate summit in Belem and coordinating international efforts to transition away from fossil fuels.
Epe
The agency responsible for analyzing Brazilian energy supply, demand, and domestic crude production projections.
The details
The Cop 30 presidency initiated this process in February 2026 by soliciting formal proposals from various countries and civil society organizations. The roadmap development involves a comprehensive analysis of global supply and demand to assess the risks associated with moving away from fossil fuels. It aims to operationalize the commitments made in 2023 to treble renewable energy and double energy efficiency globally.
Timeline
February 2026: Cop 30 presidency requested formal roadmap proposals.
3 November 2026: The global roadmap is scheduled for official publication.
2030: Target year for tripling renewables and reaching 4.9mn b/d of Brazilian crude production.
2035: Goal for electricity to represent 35% of global final energy consumption.
The Home Front
The roadmap follows the pattern established by the Cop 28 fossil fuel transition agreement, which set broad international decarbonization targets. This upcoming publication acts as the next step in coordinating the global shift toward higher electricity use.
Homeowners should track how these global shifts influence energy policy and the future availability of electrical infrastructure. Monitoring these transitions can help inform long-term household decisions regarding home efficiency and energy upgrades.
The takeaway
The upcoming roadmap will set the stage for how international energy consumption is expected to evolve through 2035. Households should watch for updates to local energy policy that reflect these long-term global electricity targets.
