This webinar will focus on how deployment of nuclear weapons would create disastrous effects on climate. In turn, climate change not only increases the likelihood of war due to competition for resources (water, air, soil) and therefore increased violence on a warming planet, but also is directly affecting vulnerable nuclear weapons sites and legacy nuclear waste from weapons development, with disproportionate health effects on local populations.
 
This is the registration page for the first in a 3-part webinar series on “The Overlapping Health Impacts of Climate Change, Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Power: Global Challenge, Local Solutions.”
