ENDEF - ESP: ENERGY SECURITY PROGRAMME

“Unfortunately, the world is full of surprises and as events unfold the NATO Forum on Energy Security* will respond. Succinctly, directly and without hesitation, the global system urgently needs forums like this to decide how to build resiliency into the energy systems we already have, how to diversify transportation corridors to mitigate the use of oil as a tool for political leverage, and how to consider what preventative and response strategies need to be built in order to protect all civilizations from the insecurity of having too little energy so vitally necessary for so many purposes.”
Dr. Kevin Rosner

* The "NATO Forum on Energy Security Technology" has been renamed to "Global Energy Security Summit Process"

Global Energy Security Summit (GESSP)

The GESS is in follow-up to the process begun with the first “The NATO Forum on Energy Security Technology” under the Direction of Dr. Kevin Rosner and Dr. Grygoriy Nemyria in February 2006 in Prague, Czech Republic.

That Forum engaged +150 representatives from over 32 countries in informative discussions, workshops, and plenary sessions on the defence and security implications of energy and its vulnerabilities. Representative speakers included the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, the Polish Deputy Minister of Economy, the Deputy Commander of US European Command, Mr. Robert McFarlane former Director, US National Security Council, Mr. Robert Bell, former Assistant Secretary General, NATO among many others.

Center for ENERGY DEFENCE members will be kept abreast and asked to engage in the GESSP with special sponsorship packages and programs made available for them. The first official GESS is tentatively scheduled for spring 2007 in Washington DC.
