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 24-25 May 2024 Pugwash held a workshop to assess risk reduction measures that could help revitalize European security dialogue. Twenty-two participants from several European countries, the U.S., Russia and Türkiye engaged in discussions on the risks, challenges and opportunities of the current security framework and prospects for nuclear and conventional arms control and confidence-building measures.
