ESS (European Security Strategy)

The European Security Strategy (ESS) is a plan adopted by the European Union to define its approach to ensuring safety and stability in Europe and beyond. It outlines key challenges such as terrorism, regional conflicts, cyber threats, and proliferation of weapons, and emphasizes the importance of diplomacy, cooperation, and military capabilities to address them. The ESS aims to protect citizens, support sustainable development, and promote peace by coordinating efforts among EU member states and international partners. It serves as a strategic framework guiding the EU’s security and defense policies to adapt to evolving global threats.
