Watch the Webinar: 

There are still about 13400 nuclear weapons on earth, representing existential threat to humanity. Be it intentional, by accident or as a product of miscalculation, any nuclear explosion would cause catastrophic humanitarian consequences beyond borders.

The abolition of nuclear weapons is essential for ensuring peace and security in Asia and Europe. Only their total elimination can bring security.

Despite the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, humanity made a great achievement of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) entering into force in January 22, 2021, rendering nuclear weapons illegal and creating a momentum for advancing towards a world without nuclear weapons.

Taking this momentum and being backed by the growing people’s voices calling for more human security and more investment on health, social security and welfare, during this webinar we will learn about the TPNW itself, the significance of its entry into force and discuss what campaigns/actions we should take as a next step to achieve a world without nuclear weapons and ensure peace and security in Asia and Europe.
