I met this morning with the UN Youth Champions for Disarmament, and I encouraged them to be ambitious in their projects and resolute in their convictions.
The disarmament community will be as diverse and inclusive as we make it. Whatever your background or where you’re from, the world needs you.

Eliminating nuclear weapons isn't just about global peace—it's crucial for public health. The production and testing of these weapons pollute our environment and endanger lives through radiation exposure. It's time for a healthier planet.

Today is Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific Day/ Nuclear Victims Remembrance Day.
A day that marks the Castle Bravo test, reflects on the devastating legacy of nuclear tests, recognise the victims and survivors and honour their resistance to nuclearism, racism and colonialism.
