Given Russia's use of nuclear threats after its invasion of Ukraine, concerns over nuclear proliferation in the Korean Peninsula and the Middle East and China's rapid expansion of its nuclear buildup, the risk of the use of nuclear weapons is the highest it has been in recent years. At its sixth and final meeting in March this year, the IGEP issued recommendations for the 2026 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, titled "Stepping Back from The Nuclear Precipice: Urgent Actions in Pursuit of a World without Nuclear Weapons." In light of the recommendations, we have organized a webinar to exchange views on key issues that must be addressed, ahead of the upcoming 2026 NPT Review Conference.
