This top-level brainstorming occurred online last February. The Nato SDA (Security and Defense Agenda) has just published a report about this exchange about the future challenges as far as global security is concerned. As a result, ten recommendations were ranked in this order (Security & Defence Agenda):

1. NATO should develop a civilian wing to prepare, coordinate and cooperate with civilian actors at various stages of operations
2. The UN should secure agreement on UN Millennium Security Goals comparable to the Millennium Development Goals and based on the concept of human security
3. Expand both EU and NATO regional security through mutual assistance agreements on non-conventional threats with neighbouring states to build mutual trust
4. Create a European Intelligence Agency as an information broker for complex and hybrid threats
5. Improve the EU’s internal public diplomacy and use new media to consult European experts and citizens on security threats and policies
6. Create a European Security Academy where EU civilian and military staff and other international actors can learn to work together in the field
7. Establish a combined EU-NATO Wisemen’s group made up of independent personalities to evaluate capability planning and build public support for cross-border cooperation
8. Establish an EU scarce natural resources inventory with a mandate to protect them for future generations
9. Publish a joint EU-NATO quarterly publication where senior officials from both organisations can highlight new collaboration efforts between the two players
10. Establish an International Crisis Preparedness Fund to harness media spotlight on today’s current crises by collecting 5% of all donations to prepare for future disasters.

FURTHER IDEAS from the 2010 SECURITY JAM:

• Establish a network of small External Action Service regional offices outside capital cities
• The EU High Representative should attend meetings of the NATO council
• A more ambitious European public diplomacy towards the North African and Arab countries
• Organize civil society online jams for more specific challenges
• Educate NATO and EU officials more on economic forecasts
• The military should take a lead in pioneering and deploying more green technology
• There should be an EU planning cell within NATO
• There needs to be a larger contribution to peace keeping operations in Africa
• Establish an international criminal court for piracy
• The EU and US should focus on the transatlantic hemisphere by strengthening economic ties across the north Atlantic but also reaching to and across the south Atlantic
• Establish a NATO/SCO Framework for Security Dialogue
• Institute a dual civil military approach to budgets to ensure more flexible hardware
• Establish a Citizens Right of Initiative to petition the EU High Representative to take action on the principle of Responsibility
  to Protect. This would require the support of a majority of the 27 member state parliaments, a pre-defi ned number of million
  citizens in the EU and the European Parliament.
• Agree an international defi nition of Comprehensive Approach with basic ground rules for civilian and military actors
• Create an EU-US civilian response corps
