Reducing nuclear risks: an urgent agenda for 2021 and beyond (agenda for the next administration: nuclear policy)
Nuclear Threat Initiative, 2020
Abstract
This article highlights the urgent need for reducing nuclear risks in the modern world, where the risks of nuclear weapons use are higher than during the Cold War. The authors propose various policy recommendations to mitigate these risks, including diplomatic engagement, nuclear posture reductions, confidence-building measures, and investments in nuclear security technologies. They emphasize the importance of renewed, bipartisan support for nuclear risk reduction efforts and call for strong U.S. leadership in promoting global nuclear security. By addressing the evolving nuclear landscape and the emerging challenges posed by new technologies, the authors argue that it is crucial to prevent nuclear war and maintain stability in a complex geopolitical environment. – AI-generated abstract.
