Abstract

Extreme climatic events, global warming, biodiversity loss, ozone depletion, water, air and soil pollution, major accidents have made the issues of environmental change in the environment and the impact on environmental insecurity has become the center of security analysis. The notion of energy security is constantly changing, as is the attitude towards the complex strategic activities that they entail. National security strategies did not include environmental security considerations until the end of the Cold War. Population growth, globalization and general technological and economic progress have led to a drastic increase in natural resources, the provision of energy sources to supply the economy and citizens is on the map of the most important geostrategic and geopolitical issues. Climate change and the issue of environmental protection have posed new challenges for the energy sector. Energy is the basis of modern life, from heating the household to driving a car, which is why its provision is vital for any national security.
