With COP31 beginning next week, we want to remind everyone of the urgency of the moment. We need a rapid and just energy transition and nuclear power is not the answer.
Stay tuned for updates from IPPNW partners at the conference!
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we raise caution for the humanitarian and environmental risks of nuclear energy, as well as nuclear weapons.
We need a rapid transition to renewable, non-nuclear energy to help address the climate crisis and prevent disaster.
"Nuclear power perpetuates extractive development, diverts resources,... exposes people and ecosystems to risks from radioactivity across its lifecycle, creates long-term burdens for future generations and reinforces militarised systems." @WGC_Climate

In response to the escalating rhetoric from President Trump and his administration on potential military action after the upcoming midterm elections, over 200 organizations call on Congress to immediately intervene to prevent the use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.
Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
While the administration claimed earlier this month that nuclear weapons would not be utilized, the signing organizations argue that sudden policy reversals have become a defining feature of the presidency, making it impossible to discount these statements as idle threats.
The unified declaration follows repeated nuclear threats against Iran and escalating rhetoric from President Trump regarding potential military action after the upcoming midterm elections.

More than 200 national and international civil society organizations issued a joint statement today demanding that the United States Congress immediately intervene to prevent the use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
“Nuclear disarmament is not merely a political aspiration, but an international legal obligation that demands meaningful action.”

Meet our delegation ⚕️📢
Walusungu Mtonga is joining dozens of IPPNW health professionals and medical students at the United Nations Headquarters next month for the first Review Conference to the #nuclearban
We echo Walusungu's call for Zambia, and all countries, to join the global majority and ratify the ban without delay. The risk of nuclear war is at an all time high, and the TPNW provides a clear path toward the total, irreversible elimination of these disastrous weapons.
