•Promote an understanding of environmental protection in order to enhance interoperability

8

Scope

• Strategic guidance

• Relevant energy related aspects

• Training, education & capability development

• Lessons Learned

9

Tasks

• Prevent & reduce• Waste management• Recovery• Protect• Energy efficiency

The balance between ambition, resources & capabilities.

Energy Security & Efficiency

• Energy Security– Assured access– Reliable supplies– Ability to protect– Deliver sufficient energy

• Energy Efficiency– Training, Technology & Education– Military culture –standards, concepts & doctrine– Reducing the demand – a priority

… a reduced Operational Footprint implies less cost, less force protection duties & less environmental damage.

The Maritime Domain

• EU dependency on the sea– Freedom of navigation– SLOC

• Global Strategic interests• EU Maritime Security Strategy• Maritime Forces contribute to

– Maritime Situational Awareness – Access to global commons– Energy security– Operational energy security
