NATO Forum on Energy Security

The NATO Forum on Energy Security will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 22 to 24 February 2006. The Forum will provide a platform for interaction between the security and defence community and science and technologies companies, as well as oil, gas and electricity producers, in order to discuss the global threats and challenges to the integrity of the world's energy system.

Business and technology providers will focus on the pragmatic responses to the challenges to global energy supply and system integrity. The policy-makers community will help steer the discussion towards the delivery of a common blueprint for moving forward the agenda on enhancing energy security across the Euro-Atlantic area. Part of the discussion will focus on defining NATO’s role in the field of energy security.

A number of prime ministers, energy ministers, high-ranking NATO’s representatives, and senior representatives from the global energy community are expected to attend. The Forum has been endorsed by the UN Economic Commission for Europe’s Energy Security Forum, and is being supported by organisations such as Eurogas, the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security in Washington DC, and the Prague Security Studies Institute.
