European Initiative for Energy Security
Europe’s energy transition and security are threatened by strategic, economic, political, and environmental challenges. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and weaponization of energy supplies, and China's increasing dominance of critical material supply chains have highlighted vulnerabilities and complicated contentious socio-economic and environmental trade-offs. Higher energy costs are driving inflation and hitting industries and citizens alike, triggering a wave of backlash that threatens to derail Europe from its transition to greater independence and security.
EIES works on the development of pan-European and global alliances and concrete, realistic solutions to de-risk Europe's transition and ensure energy security, strategic autonomy, and prosperity across the continent.
Mission
The European Initiative for Energy Security (EIES) is a leading advocate for secure energy policies, dedicated to fostering collaboration between government and industry leaders. EIES seeks to address critical energy challenges and champion comprehensive solutions for the benefit of Europe's energy security, transition, and competitiveness. EIES works with the Energy Security Leadership Council-Europe (ESLC-Europe) to achieve these goals.
EIES brings together policymakers, business, and former military leaders to develop and advocate for policies that prioritize Europe’s energy security and strategic autonomy in order to ensure secure and diverse supply chains, a resilient and clean European industrial base, and peace and prosperity. EIES seeks to bolster cooperation and collaboration across the Atlantic and between like-minded countries on these issues, to achieve shared goals in the face of global challenges.
With a growing on the ground presence across key European capitals and the support of a diverse Energy Security Leadership Council - composed of former senior European Union officials, national politicians, military leaders, NATO officials, and industry executives from across the continent – EIES conducts in-depth research and high-impact education and advocacy campaigns aimed at informing decisionmakers and the public, and delivering joint action to deliver security and prosperity for all Europeans.
About
EIES was launched with the support of SAFE. EIES maintains independence from SAFE in its research and policy positions, and its positions do not engage SAFE's. SAFE is supported by major public charities, private individuals, and industry.
