## Key points

- Thierry Bros says governments should prioritise electrification.
- He argues this can precede fully clean electricity.
- He says climate summits have not delivered structural change.

## Summary

Thierry Bros, an energy and climate expert at Sciences Po, argues that countries should prioritise electrifying their economies. He says this would reduce reliance on other energy sources and offer a practical response to geopolitical instability and the competing demands of climate policy, economic needs and energy security.

Bros says electrification should come before ensuring all electricity is clean, while recognising that clean power remains important. He criticises international climate summits, saying successive COPs have failed to deliver the structural change needed, and questions whether some technologies favoured by European policymakers are the best priority.
