ATLANTIC TREATY ASSOCIATION
Since 1954, ATA has facilitated international security dialogue across 36
countries throughout Europe and North America. For six decades, we
have promoted the values of the North Atlantic Treaty by engaging sen-
ior policy experts, young professionals and journalist in a meaningful
transatlantic debate on security and defence issues related to the Alli-
ance. The Secretariat of ATA, based in Brussels, facilitates coordination
between ATA chapters and the Brussels-based political, military and dip-
lomatic establishments.
ATLANTIC COUNCIL OF GEORGIA Atlantic Council of Georgia (ACG) was founded in 1996 and represents an
umbrella organization that brings together Georgian NGOs working on
Euro-Atlantic integration issues, for better facilitation, through joint
efforts, with the aim of ensuring the country’s NATO integration process,
and supporting NATO missions and values. Being a non-profit legal entity
under Georgian law, ACG conducts its activities in full accordance with
the Georgian Constitution, acting legislation and international norms.
ACG is an associate member of the Atlantic Treaty Association (ATA).

ATA PRESIDENT FOREWORD
The beginning of the 21st century led us to an
interconnected world where dependence on one
another has become a global imperative for our se-
curity. This has allowed us to share our resources
and expertise while also making us vulnerable to
various shared threats, committing us to take collec-
tive responsibility for the security of our citizens,
allies and partners.
Nowhere is this better illustrated than in today’s global energy
sector.
In today’s energy world, a disproportionate amount of the supply
comes from non-democratic countries, resulting in an increasing array of
compromises in foreign and domestic policy. Despite efforts by many na-
tions to reform their energy infrastructures and cope with today’s grow-
ing demand, single energy producing nations continue to use their oil
and gas reserves as political tool.
Taking into consideration these trends, it becomes obvious that en-
ergy security also finds itself as a national priority. Threats such as: ter-
rorist attacks, cyber-attacks, sabotage and natural disasters have gradual-
ly increased over the years, confirming the need for Western energy con-
sumers to combine their efforts and sync their policies in a manner that
will ensure greater security, new supply chains and alternative sources
that will protect our economies and societies from international energy
crises.
It is crucial to realise that not only local authorities or political and military institutions are responsible for global energy security. A wide spectrum of non-governmental actors play a fundamental role in pro-moting security and raising awareness. In order to explain security, we need a comprehensive approach that encompasses all actors in the field.
6
ATA PRESIDENT FOREWORD
This is why the Atlantic Treaty Association (ATA) pursues both a top-down approach from our governments and highest authorities, as well as a bottom-up approach from grass-roots organisations, civil societies and community leaders.
Effective and long-lasting energy security can only be achieved with
a common understanding that this is a necessity in our lives. Therefore,
our role is to promote confidence and trust between nations, govern-
ments, peoples and security institutions such as NATO. This can only be
done by improving the understanding of the need for security for every-
one. Military efforts must be supplemented by non-military structures
and the society. Therefore, we advocate for a hand-in-hand approach in
order to maximise the benefits to all nations.
We encourage increased dialogue and understanding of the need
for energy security so key stakeholders can find their way to an effective
international effort that will bring greater stability and security in our
world. In the interlinked world of today, partnerships matter more than
ever before, whether they are political, economic or military.
We trust that this ATA - NATO SPS workshop on ‘The Protection of
Critical Energy Infrastructure Against Emerging Security Challenges’ will
serve as the ideal forum for all those gathered to build the knowledge,
skills and network needed for addressing today’s international energy
concerns.
I wish you all fruitful discussions and a successful workshop.
Dr. h.c. Karl A. Lamers
President
