As #COP30 begins in 3 days, our message is clear: There can be no #climatejustice without #demilitarisation 🌍 WILPF will be in Belém to push governments to #MoveTheMoney from weapons to climate solutions for mitigation, adaptation & a just transition. Read our full overview: shorturl.at/qh5M0

The First Committee’s third week featured debates on nuclear weapons, other WMD, conventional weapons, and outer space. Throughout each, delegations lamented the waste of money spent on weapons and critiqued delusions of deterrence. Details in our latest 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

This #DisarmamentWeek, we’re calling to #MoveTheMoney. Soaring military spending blocks real progress. It’s time to redefine security – not through weapons, but through dignity, equality, and peace. Learn more: wilpf.org/move-the-money Source: shorturl.at/jw0fe | @rcw-wilpf.bsky.social

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty spends a third of its time proliferating propaganda for nuclear energy. But as we point out in our latest NPT News in Review, this technology generates grave harm and serious risks for people and for the planet. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...

As the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty continues its work this week, horror rages outside. Israel's genocide and India + Pakistan's conflict, among others, put the world in peril.

Since then and now, young peace activists continue to shape our movement. At the first EU #YouthPolicyDialogue, Cristina Pedrini from #YoungWILPF joined 24 other changemakers to speak truth to power on peacebuilding, diplomacy & meaningful youth participation. Read more: wilpf.org/qa-with-cris...

At the NPT PrepCom, the nuclear-armed states continued to defend their weapons and doctrines, trying to manufacture consent for the risks they create through their policies and practices.

Given the current global situation, there isn't enough panic at the NPT PrepCom. The general debate was full of excuses for proliferating nuclear weapons. But the majority of states pushed back on the lies and demanded urgent action to save us all. 📰: reachingcriticalwill.org/images/docum...
