Representatives of the nuclear industry presented an industry statement to H.E. Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Italy, at an event held alongside the G7 Ministerial Meeting on Climate, Energy and Environment in Turin, Italy. The statement is a consolidated declaration, by the international nuclear energy associations, calling for the continued support of the G7 countries for nuclear energy, including on efforts to secure necessary financing avenues for new nuclear projects. |
In Brussels at the Nuclear Energy Summit 2024, hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Belgium government, World Nuclear Association, along with national and regional nuclear industry associations (Canadian Nuclear Association, Japan Atomic Industrial Forum, Korea Atomic Industrial Forum, Nuclear Energy Institute, nucleareurope, and Nuclear Industry Association) have issued an Industry Statement. The statement sets out the global nuclear industry’s commitment to supporting government objectives to expand nuclear energy capacity worldwide to achieve climate and energy security goals.
To mark International Women’s Day (IWD), World Nuclear Association has signed an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by which the Association will help the IAEA to find suitable industry internship opportunities for women undertaking the Marie Sklodowska Curie and Lise Meitner fellowship programmes.

Accelerating nuclear energy has been recognized as a means to achieve ‘deep, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions’ in the Global Stocktake agreed today at COP28.
The Net Zero Nuclear Industry Pledge, endorsed by 120 companies, was launched today, in an event held as part of the COP28 Presidency Thematic Program, in Dubai.

A historic Ministerial Declaration signed today at the COP28 UN climate change conference in Dubai by more than twenty countries sets a clear goal of tripling global nuclear energy capacity by 2050.
World Nuclear Association and the African Commission on Nuclear Energy (AFCONE) have signed a MoU for the civilian applications of nuclear energy to support the economic growth and sustainable energy development of the African continent.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlook (WEO), shows an increased recognition for nuclear energy in their Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) scenario, the most ambitious aiming to limit global warming to 1.5°C. At the same time, this trajectory to keep the goals of the Paris Agreement within reach, still underestimates the potential of nuclear energy to meet climate, energy security and sustainable development goals.
The first Net Zero Nuclear corporate partners were highlighted at the conference, including GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Terrapower, Centrus, and Urenco. More partners will be announced soon.
