"For many of us who are working in environmental economic, energy, science and technology issues, this is a very exciting day," U.S. Under Secretary of State Robert Hormats said recently in announcing the establishment of the office of the Under Secretary for economic growth, energy, and the environment, "Because we are going to implement a vision that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had articulated and was encapsulated in one of the key recommendations of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review.” The Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review, which Secretary Clinton initiated, takes a proactive approach on the environment, economics, energy, science and technology; and reflects the critical role that these issues play in Secretary Clinton's 21st century statecraft agenda.  This new function is designed to promote new synergies and greater efficiencies in the State Department, establishing a cross-fertilization of ideas among the various functions, and finding ways in which different fields - energy, environment, economy and science - can mutually reinforce one another.
