2 Content NATO and Energy Security NATO ENSEC COE: establishment, mandate, activities Why partners could be interested in NATO ENSEC COE?

3 Energy Vulnerabilities as Part of Emerging Security Challenges Energy infrastructure and supply are subject to cyber threats, terrorist attacks, environmental threats, piracy and other emerging security risks Energy vulnerabilities are present in both civilian and military energy supply systems Training and education, as well as best practice exchanges are important tools to enhance prevention and resilience in the field of energy security

4 NATO and Energy Security Bucharest Summit (2008): NATO can add value in the field of energy security. This includes the support to the protection of critical energy infrastructure, information and intelligence sharing, consequence management, and international cooperation. Lisbon Summit (2010): In advancing our work, we will integrate, as appropriate, energy security considerations in NATO s policies and activities

5 NATO and Energy Security The Strategic Concept (2010): NATO will develop the capacity to contribute to energy security, including protection of critical energy infrastructure and transit areas and lines, cooperation with partners, and consultations among Allies on the basis of strategic assessments and contingency planning

6 NATO and Energy Security Chicago Summit Declaration (2012) we will work towards significantly improving the energy efficiency of our military forces; develop our competence in supporting the protection of critical energy infrastructure; and further develop our outreach activities in consultation with partners, on a case-by-case basis. We welcome the offer to establish a NATOaccredited Energy Security Centre of Excellence in Lithuania as a contribution to NATO s efforts in this area

7 The Energy Security Center The national Energy Security Centre was established in Vilnius, Lithuania on January 1, Stakeholders: MFA, MOD, Ministry of Science and Education, Ministry of Energy, Universities; NATO Centre of Excellence for Energy Security (NATO ENSEC COE) was established on July 10, 2012 and in October it was accredited as an International Military Organization

8 Mission of the NATO ENSEC COE To assist NATO, Nations, Partners and other bodies by supporting NATO s capability development process, mission effectiveness and interoperability by providing comprehensive and timely expertise on aspects of energy security
