Since its origins in the aftermath of the Second World War, NATO has stood as a guarantee for peace in the Euro-Atlantic area. Through cooperation and dialogue, while deterring aggression from potential adversaries, the Alliance has grown from 12 to 32 members, who are committed to safeguarding the freedom and security of all Allies against any threat.

NATO members share the cost of running the Alliance and contribute forces and capabilities. They make decisions by consensus and work worldwide with non-NATO countries, known as partners, to respond to crises. Working together and investing in innovation means that NATO and its partners can adapt to evolving threats like terrorism, cyber warfare and the effects of climate change.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s military build-up have proven that we now live in a world that is more and more unpredictable. This means that NATO’s core mission is more relevant than ever – to secure peace and freedom, and protect its 1 billion citizens.
