The Henry L. Stimson Center (Stimson) is a non-partisan think tank dedicated to helping improve peace and human security. Stimson’s Mekong Policy Project promotes sustainable development in the Mekong Basin, emphasizing an integrated approach to transboundary water resource management. This award helps to sustain its program of work to minimize the negative impacts of uncoordinated hydropower development across the Mekong Basin, from China to the Vietnam delta. Framing the hydropower development issue as a threat to regional cooperation and, potentially even regional stability, is a critical complement to on-the-ground conservation activities.

The Stimson Center is a nonpartisan policy research center based in Washington, D.C. that delivers pragmatic policy solutions on major transnational dangers. The award draws on a previous project that examined the role of industry in the nuclear supply chain, which attracted significant policymaker and industry interest. This project aims to develop international standards for an integrated nuclear safety-security approach based on the varied and disparate efforts to date. It builds a business case that shifts the perception of security from a burdensome requirement to a value-added effort, minimizing risks and benefiting overall operations.

The Stimson Center (Stimson) is a nonpartisan policy research center based in Washington, D.C. that delivers pragmatic policy solutions on the major transnational dangers. Through field and archival research, and outreach to policymakers in national governments and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), this project examines how to more closely regulate extracted natural uranium that could be converted into fissile material and used for nefarious purposes. This award is part of an effort to strengthen nonproliferation measures and build the confidence and transparency that will be required for countries to reduce fissile material stockpiles.

It will frame the hydropower development issue as threat to regional cooperation.

The Stimson Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan institution devoted to enhancing international peace and security through a combination of rigorous analysis and outreach. This grant renews a successful grant to Stimson Center for its Partners in Prevention Task Force. Stimson Center will work with its newly established consortium of dual-use technology manufacturers, insurance and risk mitigation firms, and with U.S. government officials to the White House and the Departments of Commerce, State, Defense, and Treasury to address evolving threats and opportunities in the nuclear proliferation realm. Funds would be used for partial salaries, honoraria for consulted experts, travel, workshops, and publications.

The Henry L. Stimson Center (“Stimson”) will focus on drivers and impacts of uncoordinated hydropower development. Stimson will engage with high level decision-makers to present well-documented evidence that these planned dams threaten national food security, have serious socioeconomic impacts that may threaten domestic stability in some cases, and also result in inequitable transboundary impacts. We believe that framing the hydropower development issue as threat to regional cooperation and, potentially even regional stability will have more traction with decision-makers than conservation-based arguments.
