On October 29, against the backdrop of COP26 slated to be held in Glasgow, Scotland from October 31 to November 12, a report on the contribution of nuclear energy to achieving each of the seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was published by the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum, Inc. (JAIF), the Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA), the European Atomic Forum (FORATOM), the U.S. Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), the UK Nuclear Industry Association (NIA), and the World Nuclear Association (WNA).
Nuclear technology can make various contributions in the areas of several of the SDGs, including no poverty, good health and well-being, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, and climate action.
Each nuclear association asserts that nuclear energy—currently available and one of the most efficient low-carbon power sources—can play many useful roles in building a clean, sustainable society.
