To limit the impacts of climate change, the world must rapidly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear energy is low-carbon and can supply the world with clean, reliable, and affordable electricity.

Atmospheric concentrations of some of the gases that produce the greenhouse effect are increasing due to human activity and the vast majority of the world's climate scientists believe this causes global warming and resulting climate change.
Climate change is a worldwide problem and policy responses have accordingly had an international basis; the principal focus has been on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Every year the UN holds a climate change conference. Our association has been involved in many of the COP event over the course of more than 20 years.
Like nuclear power, renewable energy provides electricity without significant carbon dioxide emissions. However, solar and wind require back-up generating capacity due to their intermittent nature.
Energy storage on a large scale has become a major focus of attention and research as intermittent renewable energy has become more prevalent.
Burning coal without adding to global carbon dioxide levels is a major technological challenge. The greatest challenge is bringing the cost of capture and storage technology down sufficiently for 'clean coal' to compete with nuclear power.
We coordinate the Harmony programme on behalf of the nuclear community to identify the measures that need to be put in place to deliver a low-carbon future to which nuclear energy fully contributes.
