经济增长，能源与环境办公室(1/2)

"For many of us who are working in

environmental economic, energy, science and technology issues,

this is a very exciting day,"

U.S. Under Secretary of State Robert Hormats said recently

in announcing the establishment of the office of the Under Secretary

for economic growth, energy, and the environment,

"Because we are going to implement a vision

that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had articulated

and was encapsulated in one of the key recommendations

of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review.”

The Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review,

which Secretary Clinton initiated,

takes a proactive approach on the

environment, economics, energy, science and technology;

and reflects the critical role that these issues play

in Secretary Clinton's 21st century statecraft agenda.

This new function is designed to promote new synergies

and greater efficiencies in the State Department,

establishing a cross-fertilization of ideas among the various functions,

and finding ways in which different fields -

energy, environment, economy and science -

can mutually reinforce one another.
