Global Zero

Global Zero combines policy analysis, backchannel diplomacy, media outreach, and public engagement to seek the lasting peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. This award supports an effort to prevent a nuclear conflict in the context of growing global concern about potential nuclear use. Global Zero aims to develop and implement this work quickly due to what experts believe is the most likely scenario for a nuclear conflict in many years.

Launched in Paris in 2008, Global Zero combines policy analysis, backchannel diplomacy, media outreach, and public engagement to seek lasting peace and security in a world without nuclear weapons. This award provides general operating support to Global Zero. Outcomes include a reimagined operating model for nuclear civil society organizations.

Launched in Paris in 2008, Global Zero combines policy analysis, backchannel diplomacy, media outreach, and public engagement to seek lasting peace and security in a world without nuclear weapons. In collaboration with the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Global Zero participates in this project and re-grants a portion of this award to the Moscow-based Center for Energy and Security Studies (CENESS) to launch a U.S.-Russia dialogue on Iran’s nuclear program. This award produces recommendations and implementation plans for the United States and Russia to work together to reduce nuclear risks vis-à-vis Iran. We are recommending a separate, concurrent award to CNAS for this undertaking.

Launched in Paris in 2008, Global Zero combines policy analysis, backchannel diplomacy, media outreach, and public engagement to seek lasting peace and security in a world without nuclear weapons. The project develops a set of cohesive and integrated nuclear policy positions that could form the core of future U.S. nuclear policy, and considers in advance how this cohesive set of policies could be effectively implemented by the next administration. These efforts are centered on reducing nuclear risks and reasserting U.S. leadership in global nuclear affairs.

Launched in Paris in 2008, Global Zero combines policy analysis, backchannel diplomacy, media outreach, and public engagement to seek lasting peace and security in a world without nuclear weapons. The project brings together a selected group of functional and regional experts to provide an assessment of current United States nuclear policies. It is intended to form a basis for developing nuclear policy proposals that could be adopted by the current and future administrations.
