Nuclear weapons

Published February 28, 2017

TODAY there are more than 16,000 nuclear weapons globally. These weapons of mass destruction threaten the globe.

We must not continue to pour more and more of the taxpayer’s money into these weapons of mass destruction. Instead, we should work urgently to eliminate the risks. The only reliable and verifiable way to do that is to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, secure all nuclear materials and eliminate all nuclear weapons globally.

Nuclear powers must come together and draw up actionable plans to eliminate all nuclear weapons globally.
