Since its establishment in 2022, the IGEP has provided a forum in which participants from both nuclear-weapon States and non-nuclear-weapon States, as well as those from both participating and non-participating countries in the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), to exchange ideas and thoughts beyond their respective national positions concerning a concrete path towards the realization of a "world without nuclear weapons."

At its sixth and final meeting in March this year, the IGEP issued recommendations for the 2026 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, the IGEP is organizing three webinars to exchange views on key issues, such as nuclear risk reduction and "bridge-building" between disarmament and security, ahead of the upcoming 2026 NPT Review Conference. Through the webinars, the IGEP hopes to strengthen the momentum for nuclear disarmament within the international community.
