Imagine a World Without Nuclear Weapons

Leila Conners speaks with Beatrice Fihn about the pathway to rid the world of nuclear weapons. Nuclear escalation was already underway prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and with the war in Europe, the issue of denuclearization is now more urgent than ever. Beatrice believes that a world free of nuclear weapons is possible if we stigmatize nuclear weapons and make it difficult to possess them. As Executive Director of ICAN, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) Beatrice lead the way to the creation of The U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons which passed January 22, 2021. ICAN won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017.
