G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

Whether it's giving a technical talk, outreach to the public, or advocating to policymakers, communication is an integral part of our jobs. This is especially crucial given the politicized nature of nuclear and misinformation surrounding it. While mythbusting and rational arguments are popular tools for countering misinformation, these style of arguments often hold less weight than deeper-rooted philosophical and cultural worldviews. Get ready to walk a mile in someone else's shoes as we explore the different ways nuclear and climate solutions may be perceived and how we talk about them.
