In particular, Congress expressed interest in how the United States participates in energy cooperation through international forums. GAO was asked to review: (1) what are the key international energy forums in which the United States pursues energy cooperation, (2) what are some of the key emerging energy market issues that are important for international energy cooperation, and (3) how is the United States addressing these issues through its participation in these forums. GAO's work is based on contacts with agency officials and energy experts and review of documents. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-170/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-170.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-170/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-170.pdf GAO-07-170 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-170 Other Written Product GAO-07-170; International Energy: International Forums Contribute to Energy Cooperation within Constraints; Conservation Crude oil Economic growth Energy policy Gas resources International agreements International cooperation International relations National policies Natural gas Natural resource management Petroleum industry Prices and pricing Trade agreements Supply and demand
