The IAEA announced a €13.7 million commitment to support Small Island Developing States (SIDS) through 49 technical cooperation projects addressing ocean pollution, microplastics monitoring, cancer care, nutrition and water resource management. SIDS have unique and increasing barriers to development, and the fund commitment will provide innovative solutions such as using nuclear science and technology to generate, store and share valuable data for development and help build a more resilient, sustainable future for SIDS. #SIDS4 🔗 atoms.iaea.org/4cDsqsZ

🌍 Unlocking the Power of Nuclear Science and Technology for a Sustainable Future 🌍 As the world faces unprecedented global challenges—from climate change to healthcare disparities—science, technology, and innovation (STI) are playing a pivotal role in tackling these issues head-on. This year, GCRI is excited to highlight an important side event organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA), the United States, Senegal, and CRDF Global during the #UN #SummitoftheFuture Action Days. This event will explore the critical role of nuclear science and technology in advancing key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including: 🌱 Zero Hunger (SDG 2) 💧 Clean Water (SDG 6) 🌊 Ocean Health (SDG 14) 💡 Clean Energy (SDG 7) 🏥 Good Health (SDG 3) The power of the atom is providing reliable low-carbon energy, combating food and water insecurity, and enhancing cancer care—especially in regions with limited access to life-saving treatments like radiotherapy. By leveraging these innovative solutions, we can anticipate future challenges and build more equitable and resilient systems for generations to come. Join global leaders, innovators, and advocates as they discuss how nuclear STI can help us create a healthier, more sustainable future for all.

Today’s field trip with IMD was incredibly inspiring! 🌍 We explored one of the greatest challenges humanity faces: CO2 reduction and the replacement of fossil fuels. Hearing from the #KRFoundation, #Hyme, #Seaborg, and #Maersk highlighted how investment, innovation, and technology can drive real change. 💡⚡ #Maersk presented ideas of blue energy-driven vessels, leading the way in transforming maritime transport. Their work, along with advancements in nuclear energy, left me optimistic about the future. It was ironic to learn about these innovations in Denmark, where nuclear energy has been banned since the 70s. It’s going to be interesting—and challenging—how we manage our worldwide fuel bill as we navigate these changes. But it's clear that alongside technological advancements, a socio-economic shift, along with strong regulations and policies, is essential to truly manage the energy challenge. 💪💚🌍 Excited for the future and the possibilities ahead! 🚀🌱 #Sustainability #Innovation #CO2Reduction #IMD" Pascal Elsener, EMBA , Laure Frank ✔️ EMBA IMD , Esther Rey Losada , Helen Parsons , Christine Krieger , Konrad Meyer, Lasse Dehn-Baltzer , Brian Valbjørn S. , Jon Hov Lauritzen

🌊 Ocean acidification, a detrimental consequence of climate change caused by the ocean’s absorption of CO2, is threatening the environment. Because of its global scale, addressing ocean acidification comes with its own challenges. 🎬 The IAEA’s Environment Laboratories in Monaco overcome these challenges by utilizing nuclear and isotopic techniques to better understand the environmental and economic impacts of ocean acidification. With the help of these nuclear techniques, scientists can research potential solutions to this global issue. ▶️ https://buff.ly/3u1tDsS #oceanacidification

"In our contemporary era, marked by unprecedented advancements in nuclear technology, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and the looming effects of climate change, we find ourselves at a crossroads. These advancements hold the promise of revolutionizing our lives in ways previously unimaginable, offering solutions to age-old problems and ushering in an era of unprecedented progress. However, alongside these opportunities, we are confronted with monumental challenges that imperil the very fabric of our existence as a species. From the existential threat posed by nuclear proliferation and the ethical dilemmas surrounding biotechnological interventions to the potential risks of runaway AI and the looming specter of climate catastrophe, we stand on the precipice of a future fraught with both promise and peril. Navigating these complexities will require foresight, cooperation, and a collective commitment to ensuring that the benefits of progress are shared equitably and that the risks are mitigated effectively. Only by acknowledging the enormity of the challenges before us can we hope to steer humanity toward a future that is both prosperous and sustainable." Inspired by the Precipice by Toby Ord

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the UN FAO presented the newly launched #Atoms4Food initiative - a platform to boost agricultural production and food security through nuclear science. 'Side event attendees at COP28 heard how this new initiative builds upon the nearly 60 years of IAEA-FAO collaboration through the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. It combines the organizations’ unique strengths to the benefit of populations facing hunger. The IAEA, through the Joint Centre, uses nuclear applications to support countries to identify and solve challenges caused by climate change. FAO Director General Qu stressed the importance of nuclear science and technology for evidence-based decision making.' https://hubs.li/Q02cYhPk0

A lot of the climate tech investing is going into moonshots and big science and engineering projects that will require large-scale infrastructure, whether it’s carbon-capture technologies, hydrogen, or new nuclear science. It will take decades to roll out and scale some of brand-new transformational technologies. ** The challenge for climate policy is to encourage the transfer of the climate-friendly technologies to the developing world.

Research reactors are the main producers of medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat cancers and other diseases. Technetium-99 alone is used in up to 50 million nuclear medicine procedures every year. The IAEA supports countries in the production of radioisotopes using research reactors not only for medical uses but also for industry, research and development. #NuclearMedecine #FightCancer
