LONDON – November 06, 2026 -- Current policies leave the world on course for 2.6°C of warming by 2100, according to new Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) analysis. More than 30 ETC members have used it to urge COP31 President Murat Kurum and President of Negotiations Chris Bowen to put clean electrification and hard-to-electrify sectors at the centre of the summit outcome.
The letter was published with the ETC briefing "Still vital, still possible" days before negotiators gather in Türkiye. Signatories include ETC Commissioners from Arup, Envision, Grantham Research Institute (LSE), Octopus Energy, Rothschild, Schneider Electric, Tata Steel and Vattenfall, alongside leaders from utilities, heavy industry, transport and finance.
