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

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”

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 NATO-accredited Energy Security Centre of Excellence in Lithuania as a contribution to NATO’s efforts in this area”

NATO and Energy Security There are many IO working in the field of energy security.
NATO's added value lies in its transatlantic nature, its intelligence sharing platforms and military planning structures, as well as its wide partnership network
Also, there are a number of bodies within NATO dealing with energy security. The focal point for energy security in NATO’s International Staff is the Energy Security Section within the Emerging Security Challenges Division
NATO's strategic commands are also involved in activities related to energy security. One of them is Allied Command Transformation (ACT), which is enhancing training, conducting concept experiments, and promoting interoperability.
