Nuclear energy
& the sustainable development goals
The world has been strongly impacted by human activities over the last century, intensifying and accelerating the effects of global warming and climate change. The overuse of resources compromises our ability to meet our and future generations' needs; therefore, action is needed now.
Energy is essential to achieving a sustainable future for all; decarbonising this industry is critical whilst ensuring an abundant and affordable supply. To achieve this, we must deploy low-carbon energy technologies, including nuclear. Additionally, nuclear science and technology have applications in agriculture, food security, art, medicine, history preservation, environment, mining, etc.
