Net Zero Needs Nuclear

Nuclear IS a Path to Net Zero

Nuclear Power is the fastest path to a Net Zero future for all.

The latest IPCC report states that extreme weather events will continue to increase globally. This highlights the need for low-carbon, reliable, affordable, and abundant energy that is not weather dependent, all characteristics delivered by Nuclear Power.

The resilience and reliability of nuclear technology are essential as the climate is becoming more hostile much sooner than we initially predicted. UNECE has established that if nuclear power is excluded from the global portfolio, the global climate objectives can not be met. Nuclear Power offers a unique opportunity for a healthy, resilient, low-carbon post-COVID recovery that prevents future threats, creates decent jobs, and unlocks inclusive, sustainable growth for all.

Overview

Nuclear for Climate is a grassroots initiative co-founded in 2015 after the COP21 conference in Paris. It gathers over 150 associations, professionals, scientists and enthusiastic volunteers from all around the globe with the goal of educating policymakers and the public about nuclear energy and defending its use for those cases where it can be helpful as one of the solutions as a carbon-free energy for the energy transition and to mitigate climate change.

Climate Action

The United Nations called for climate action at COP21, in Paris seven years ago. Since then, the urgency has increased. Now more than ever, it is clear that actions to attain the goals of the Paris Agreement must come from EVERYONE, including; governments, cities, regions, businesses and investors.

What is Nuclear for Climate?

Nuclear for Climate is an initiative gathering nuclear professionals and scientists from over 150 societies and associations, with the goal of opening a dialogue with policymakers and the public about the necessity of including nuclear energy among the carbon-free solutions to climate change. It was co-founded by the ENS, the French Nuclear Society (SFEN) and the American Nuclear Society (ANS) in 2015, ahead of the COP21 conference in Paris.

Since 2015, over 150 nuclear associations have shared our declaration messages via social media, and our twitter account reached over 300,000 tweet impressions around the word. Our award-winning grassroots communications campaign was retweeted by high-profile news publications such as the NY Times, NBC and ABC news.

Nuclear for Climate has a global presence on social media and in-person. There have been delegations at international conferences, such as the United Nations COP 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 where activists promoted nuclear energy as a key player in negotiations around climate change. The delegation also hosted side events, flashmobs and participated in panel discussions with representatives from environmental NGOs, the IAEA and national delegates.

Our Message

Climate change is a global issue that requires coordinated action across nations, organizations, and individuals. Nuclear Power is a low-carbon, reliable, affordable and abundant energy source that, alongside renewables, provides the fastest path to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and a secure energy future.

The multiple peaceful applications of nuclear science and technology will also help us fulfil the UN Sustainable Development Goals and achieve a sustainable future for all.
