The European Leadership Network urges focus on nuclear arms control, prioritizing diplomacy and safeguarding the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The US nuclear arms control community needs a strategic plan to tackle the increasing danger of nuclear weapons and their impact on international security. The Bulletin's Doomsday Clock indicates a growing risk, despite efforts by the US arms control community. A new approach is needed to reduce nuclear threats and avoid a tragic outcome. The European Leadership Network (ELN) is calling for leaders to focus on compartmentalizing nuclear arms control from great power competition, prioritizing diplomacy, and protecting nuclear arms control as a global imperative. The ELN's intergenerational network will work to strengthen the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime, and help identify pathways to success during the 2026 Review Conference.
