Energy is at the nexus of national security, economic prosperity and the environment. The Department of State’s work in national security, bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, commercial advocacy and development are widely affected by energy concerns. The Bureau of Energy Resources integrates energy security interests into foreign policy decision making, putting energy diplomacy at the forefront of U.S. foreign policy along three pillars.

能源与国家安全、经济繁荣和环境密切相关。国务院在国家安全、双边和多边外交、商业倡导和发展方面的工作都受到能源因素的广泛影响。能源资源局将能源安全利益纳入外交政策决策过程，从三个方面将能源外交置于美国外交政策的前沿。

为了确定在互相依赖的市场上展开能源地缘战略合作的机会，我们：

Forge strong diplomatic relationships with major consumers and suppliers, anticipate the impacts of changing energy markets and leverage our role in energy-related international organizations as we recognize that energy disruptions anywhere can threaten economic growth everywhere.

建立与主要消费者和供应商的牢固的外交关系，预先考虑到变化的能源市场造成的影响，发挥我国在与能源相关的国际组织中的杠杆作用，因为我们认识到，任何地方的能源供应中断都会威胁到所有地方的经济增长。

Promote a stable and secure global energy economy by engaging foreign governments and the private sector to maintain the security of supply and pursue alternative energy options and diversification of energy types. Our efforts include effectively implementing sanctions as diplomatic tool.

Energy World of the Future

未来的能源世界

To stimulate the market forces that will sustain Energy Transformation in alternative energy, electricity development, and reconstruction, we: Foster the development of regional electricity grids and regulatory harmonization to create larger markets, enhance reliability and energy efficiency and facilitate integration and trade from clean energy sources and technologies. Encourage the establishment of financially viable electric power systems that can attract the huge private investment ($17 trillion by 2035) needed to meet growing electricity demands, especially in developing regions. Advance U.S. business partnerships for adoption and commercialization of efficient and innovative energy technologies for sustainable development.

为了激励将在替代能源、电力开发和重建领域维持能源转型的市场力量，我们：促进区域电网的发展和监管协调以创造更大的市场、提高可靠性和能源效率，并促进清洁能源和技术的整合及交易。鼓励建立财政可行的电力系统，吸引大量所需的民间投资（到2035年时达到17万亿美元）满足日益增长的电力需求，尤其在发展中地区。推动美国商业伙伴关系，为促进可持续发展采用高效及创新能源技术并实现商业化。

Energy Governance and Access

能源管理和获得渠道

To counter poverty and development issues due to lack of access to energy, poor resource management or both, we: Encourage responsible resource management by promoting global transparency standards, developing countries’ technical capacity and supporting accountable legal and regulatory regimes and sound financial management in line with international standards. Expand energy access through economic statecraft and partnerships with development agencies to help encourage creation of commercially viable models backed by private investment.

为解决因缺乏获得能源的渠道、不良资源管理或两者共同造成的贫困及发展问题，我们：鼓励负责任的资源管理，要求推动全球透明度标准，发展各国的技术能力并支持法律和监管问责体系及符合国际标准的健全的财务管理。通过经济治国方略和与发展事务机构结成伙伴关系，鼓励建立得到民间投资支持的可行商业模式，拓宽获得能源的渠道。
