The United States joined a coalition of over twenty countries at last year’s 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to commit to a tripling of the world’s nuclear generation capacity by 2050. The coalition also called on international financial institutions like the World Bank and IMF to end finance bans for nuclear energy projects and to craft nuclear-inclusive lending policies. What role do global conferences and summits have in meeting sustainability goals? How does nuclear energy remain part of the solution set in international discussions on finance, infrastructure, and climate change? What lies ahead for COP29 and beyond?
