Delegates from ICAN and parent organisation IPPNW have returned from the Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee (NPT PrepCom) in New York, addressing the need for a Nuclear Weapons Convention.
 
This was a crucial meeting ahead of the 2010 NPT Review Conference (RevCon). Attending the PrepCom were Australian Chair of ICAN, Asscociate Prof. Tilman Ruff, along with ICAN Board Members Dr Ruth Mitchell and Dimity Hawkins.
 

In a recent article for The Ecologist, Joss Garman argues that today's security threats cannot be tackled using Cold War weapons.
 
For Garman, it is precisely the irrelevance of Trident that is making it so relevant, drawing in supporters of abolition from across society.
 

A new website has been launched to help people better understand the environmental and climatic consequences of nuclear war.
 
The website, www.nucleardarkness.org, explains the concept of nuclear darkness and how this would cause deadly global climate change.
 
The site contains general information that can be understood by everyone, as well as more technical information for those interested in researching the topic more deeply.
