Climate change presents us with a stark challenge: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero much faster than we have done so far, or to face the increasingly catastrophic consequences of an inexorably warming planet.
More and more scientists, policymakers and members of the public are recognizing nuclear as a critical part of decarbonized energy systems.

Atoms are the building blocks of our universe and all life. We have unlocked their power in profound ways to deliver energy, benefit our health and to open new frontiers in science and medicine.
They are what we and what our environment is made of - like a common denominator or an all-unifying element. And it is this unity on climate change solutions that we need to find in a world where this crisis is becoming ever more acute.
This is why the Atoms4Climate campaign aims to develop a fresh perspective in a collective manner on the role atoms can play to help tackle the climate challenges and to shed a light on the fascinating applications of nuclear science and technology in the search for climate solutions.

”Mankind must reduce the emission of CO2 because of the climate catastrophe. Nuclear power plants emit far less CO2 than coal-fired power plants, so we should make it a priority to abandon coal-fired power generation.”
