Nuclear War and Climate Change: The Urgency for Action

By Christina Parthemore

I had the honour of delivering a keynote speech at a COP26 side event hosted by the International Forum for Understanding on November 1, 2021, on the subject of nuclear war and climate change. My remarks were followed by a panel of talented, cross-discipline emerging leaders. The evening was capped with a dinner during which actors played out an allegory about climate change and nuclear war. Within this play, Asle Toje, the deputy leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, delivered a striking monologue as a reminder of the catastrophic risks to humanity these issues pose.
