摘要:

作为国际能源治理体系的核心法律框架,《能源宪章条约》长期以来为国际能源投资与贸易提供了重要的法律保障。然而,在全球应对气候变化和推进能源转型的背景下,《能源宪章条约》却不得不面临一场严峻的“退约风潮”。许多《能源宪章条约》成员国纷纷质疑该条约在当今国际能源治理中的适用性和有效性。为应对这一危机,能源宪章秘书处启动了条约的现代化改革进程,旨在通过文本修订重塑国际社会信任。但就目前进展而言,改革成效仍存在显著不确定性。故而在面对“退约风潮”和现代化改革等诸多不确定时,中国应审慎评估加入《能源宪章条约》的利弊得失。一方面,应加速完善国内能源领域法律法规体系建设,夯实制度基础;另一方面,应对外积极参与全球能源治理机制改革,增强话语权,以期为国家能源安全法治链提供有力的法治保障。

Abstract:

As the core legal framework of the international energy governance system, the Energy Charter Treaty(ECT) provides crucial legal safeguards for promoting international investment and trade in the energy sector. However, due to recent climate change and the global energy transition,a widespread "wave of withdrawals" from the ECT has emerged. Many member states have begun questioning the treaty's applicability and effectiveness in contemporary international energy governance. To address these concerns,the Energy Charter Secretariat has initiated modernization reforms, aiming to restore international trust by refining the ECT text. Nevertheless, the outcome of this institutional transformation remains highly uncertain.Facing the crisis of withdrawals, China should carefully consider acceding to the ECT, actively participate in international energy governance cooperation and improve domestic energy legislation to safeguard national energy security.
