Description:
NATO 2030 is an ambitious agenda to make sure NATO remains ready, strong and united for a new era of increased global competition. NATO Leaders asked Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at their meeting in London in December 2019 to lead a forwardlooking reflection to make NATO stronger and fit for the future. Over the last year, the Secretary General consulted widely with Allies and received valuable input from an independent group of experts. He also engaged with civil society, young people, parliamentarians and the private sector to help shape the NATO 2030 agenda. On this basis, the Secretary General developed concrete proposals to make NATO stronger and ready for the future. Over the last months, Allies have been discussing these proposals and, at the Summit on 14 June 2021, NATO Leaders endorsed the NATO 2030 agenda. The Summit comes at a pivotal moment for the Alliance, as NATO adapts to growing global competition and more unpredictable threats, including terrorism, cyber-attacks, disruptive technologies, climate change, and Russia and China’s challenges to the rules-based international order. Standing strong together to face a more unpredictable and competitive world is what the NATO 2030 initiative is about.
