7. Webinar: Nuclear Weapons Testing: Consequences and Risks

Norges Fredslag takeover i samarbeid med Nei til Atomvåpen! Merk, webinaret foregikk på engelsk. This event explores nuclear weapons in a broader perspective. Beyond its potential use in war, the whole nuclear weapons infrastructure can be seen as destructive and a massive source of insecurity for humans and nature. How do we achieve security for people and the environment as long as nuclear weapons exist? Main case for this discussion is the Marshall Islands, where the US tested a total of 67 nuclear bombs. Panelists: Benetick Maddison, climate and nuclear issues specialist with the Marshallese Nuclear Educational Initiative (MEI). Rens van Munster, senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS), director of the research program ‘Radioactive Ruins: Security in the age of Anthropocene’ Lily Adams, consultant specializing in nuclear weapons outreach and policy issues.
