能源安全已成为欧盟政策的关键优先事项。然而，减缓气候变化的承诺是并行的。本文的目的是分析欧盟减缓气候变化和能源安全政策在多大程度上是一致的。由于这两个领域都是复杂而广泛的，因此两者的关系远非泾渭分明。我们使用了一个简单的评估框架，它并列了两个策略领域的主要组成部分，并描述了它们之间的相互作用。我们的评估表明，几个政策子领域之间存在总体一致性，但许多政策相互作用需要政策制定者的关注。能源安全和减缓气候变化政策之间的一致性将取决于辅助政策措施和外部驱动因素（如全球天然气市场）的演变。此外，欧盟的能源政策将如何影响气候变化缓解，反之亦然，这一未来前景将取决于未来能源安全议程的框架。转向各国分散的能源安全框架将导致更大的政策冲突，而协调一致的欧洲能源安全框架可能会增加政策一致性。
Energy security has become a key priority in the European Union's (EU) policy. However, climate change mitigation commitments run in parallel. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the extent to which the EU's climate change mitigation and energy security policies are coherent. The relationship is far from clear-cut, as both areas are complex and wide-ranging. We use a simple assessment framework, which juxtaposes the main components of the two policy domains and characterizes the interactions between them. Our assessment shows that there is general coherence between several policy subfields, but a number of policy interactions require policy-makers’ attention. The coherence between energy security and climate mitigation policies will depend on ancillary policy measures and the evolution of external drivers, such as global gas markets. Furthermore, the future outlook of how the EU's energy policy will affect climate change mitigation and vice versa will depend on how the future energy security agenda is framed. A move to a nationally fragmented energy security frame would lead to greater policy conflicts, while a coordinated European energy security frame could increase policy coherence.
