June 3 - 6, 2012

Access to reliable and affordable energy and water is an important determinant of the prosperity of cities along with effective mission sustainment at military installations. Both military and civilian organizations alike are actively pursuing locally- oriented energy strategies to address both the sources of energy production as well as the quantity of energy and water consumption.

To discuss and develop expert answers to sustainable strategy questions, the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Sustainable Cities and Military Installations" brought together more than 50 scientists, engineers and policy makers from 14 different nations and multiple fields, reflecting the global and interdisciplinary nature of sustainability research. Held from June 3rd through June 6th, 2012 in Hella, Iceland, the workshop was organized by Dr. Igor Linkov, and hosted jointly by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center and University of Iceland. The meeting was supported by the US Navy, US Department of Energy, Office of Naval Research, Nord- star, Lockheed Martin, Novus Environmental, Decision Partners, Bioengineering Group and Environ Inc
