Pugwash seeks a world free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Through our long-standing tradition of ‘dialogue across divides’ that also earned us the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995, Pugwash aims to develop and support the use of scientific, evidence-based policymaking, focusing on areas where nuclear and WMD risks are present. By facilitating track 1.5 and track II dialogues, we foster creative discussions on ways to increase the security of all sides and promote policy development that is cooperative and forward-looking.
On 13-14 December 2014 Pugwash convened its first consultations with the oil and gas community about the future of business operations in Iran. The meeting was intended to discuss policy options for the energy market and beyond in light of the outcome of the Iranian nuclear talks and of the situation in Iraq and the Middle East.
