“一带一路”框架下中国的清洁能源外交——契机、挑战与战略性能力建设

China's Clean Energy Diplomacy and the Belt and Road Initiative:Opportunities, Challenges, and Capacity Building

清洁能源外交是为了保障国家绿色能源安全并推进能源转型,实现区域清洁能源善治,以及构建国际能源治理新秩序所采取的外交协作战略。中国的"一带一路"建设为加快清洁能源产业"走出去"注入了内部动力,沿线国家的绿色能源发展需求不仅是清洁能源外交的外部推力,也创造了资源互补、产能优化及绿色融资平台,这些都为中国清洁能源外交提供了新契机。针对目前清洁能源外交面临的政治经济安全风险、大国地缘博弈、生态脆弱性挑战以及政策标准的差异性等各种制约性因素,中国应全方位提升战略性能力建设,分别从绿色外交实力、制度性能力、资源协调能力、绿色金融引领力以及话语性能力这五个方面来推动中国清洁能源外交,并以此为契机推进"一带一路"绿色命运共同体的建设。

The objective of China’s clean energy diplomacy is multifold:protecting national green energy security,promoting energy transformation,achieving good governance of regional clean energy,and constructing a new order for better global energy governance.The Belt and Road Initiative has injected new impetus into China’s energy diplomacy in that the ever-growing demand for clean energy in countries along the two routes calls for greater resource complementarity,industrial capacity upgradation,and more effective green financing institutions.In the face of the multiple constraining factors—political and economic uncertainties,geopolitical competitions between great powers,vulnerable ecosystems,and divergent policies and standards—China needs to build its overall capacity for more robust energy diplomacy by focusing on five aspects,namely,green energy diplomacy,institution building,resource allocation,green finance,and discoursive power,with a view to building a green community of shared destiny.
