满足世界能源需求是下个世纪社会面临的重大挑战。为了确定满足这一需求的最可持续的能源途径，政策所依据的能源系统分析必须超越目前对碳的主要关注，包括人类福祉所依赖的广泛的生态系统服务。将一套广泛的生态系统服务纳入能源政策的设计将区分能源技术选择，以确定协调国家和国际义务的政策选择，以应对气候变化以及生物多样性和生态系统服务的丧失。在本文中，我们考虑了我们目前对能源系统对生态系统服务的影响的理解，并确定了评估的关键要素。分析必须考虑能源系统的整个生命周期，领土和国际足迹，使用统一的生态系统服务框架，将市场和非市场商品的价值结合起来，并考虑能源和环境系统的时空动态。虽然存在重大的方法挑战，但我们详细介绍的方法可以提供能源和生态系统服务相互作用的整体视图，为未来的全球能源政策提供信息。
Meeting the world’s energy demand is a major challenge for society over the coming century. To identify the most sustainable energy pathways to meet this demand, analysis of energy systems on which policy is based must move beyond the current primary focus on carbon to include a broad range of ecosystem services on which human well-being depends. Incorporation of a broad set of ecosystem services into the design of energy policy will differentiates between energy technology options to identify policy options that reconcile national and international obligations to address climate change and the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In this paper we consider our current understanding of the implications of energy systems for ecosystem services and identify key elements of an assessment. Analysis must consider the full life cycle of energy systems, the territorial and international footprint, use a consistent ecosystem service framework that incorporates the value of both market and non-market goods, and consider the spatial and temporal dynamics of both the energy and environmental system. While significant methodological challenges exist, the approach we detail can provide the holistic view of energy and ecosystem services interactions required to inform the future of global energy policy.
