能源对解决环境退化和贫困问题的重要性直到最近才得到国际社会的承认。虽然能源是一个多方面的问题，但最受关注的问题是必须普及现代能源服务。如果得不到能源服务，人们就注定生活在贫困之中。提供这种服务是为世界所有人口提供可持续生活方式的一个关键因素。本文首先概述了获得能源服务在贫困辩论中的重要性。其次，本文认为，到目前为止，各国采取了什么战略来应对这一问题，以及这些举措遇到的困难。在这一背景下，最后一节阐述了获得能源服务作为一项人权的理由，并开始为这一权利提供内容。
The relevance of energy to resolving environmental degradation and poverty has only recently been recognized by the world community. While energy is a multifaceted issue, the issue that has attracted the most attention has been the need to provide universal access to modern energy services. Without access to energy services, people are destined to live in poverty. The provision of such services is a key ingredient to providing a sustainable way of living for all the world's population. This article first outlines the significance of access to energy services in the poverty debate. Secondly, this article considers what strategies have so far been adopted by states to confront this issue and the difficulties that such initiatives have encountered. Against this background, the final section makes the case for access to energy services as a human right and commences the task of providing a content for such a right.
