US Energy Diplomacy in a More Challenging World

The US State Department's Bureau of Energy Resources (ENR) develops and executes US international energy policy through diplomatic and programmatic engagement that promotes a low-emissions future, energy security for the United States and our allies and partners, and economic prosperity through sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy access. In a conversation with the Hoover Institution’s Adm. James O. Ellis, Jr., USN (Ret.), Assistant Secretary Pyatt - a career diplomat formerly serving as US ambassador to Ukraine, as ambassador to Greece, and with other senior postings to missions in Europe, India, Hong Kong, and Pakistan - will describe the role that US energy resources, technologies, and markets play in supporting US national diplomatic priorities around the world. This includes in Europe and in Central Asia after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, among treaty allies and partners in the shifting Indo-Pacific, and across the Global South where energy is key enabler of economic development.
