Priorities
- Promote the Reduction and Eventual Elimination of Nuclear Weapons: They are building the common understanding among world leaders that nuclear weapons are unacceptable. They help leaders take concrete steps to reduce current arsenals and limit future ones, all to achieve a planet where nuclear weapons can never be used again.
- Prevent the Emergence of New Nuclear States: Iran and North Korea have been the biggest threats to containing nuclear weapons. The lasting solution will not be a military one. Diplomacy and engagement—always grounded in data and strategic analysis—can solve these problems. It takes hard work and intelligence, both of which require funding.
- Build Regional Peace and Security: Longstanding and unresolved tensions between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan make South Asia one of the most dangerous places on earth. Our partners work to transform the region with fact-finding missions, on-the-ground analysis, high-level dialogue, confidence-building measures, and more.
