Register for ‘A Global Challenge: Modeling the Effect of Nuclear Weapons on Climate and the Effect of Climate on Nuclear Weapons – Important Interactions’ on September 22

Posted on September 18, 2023 by Green Newton

Friday, September 22 from 1-2pm. Online.

This webinar by the Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) will focus on how the deployment of nuclear weapons would create disastrous effects on climate. In turn, climate change not only increases the likelihood of war due to competition for resources (water, air, soil) and therefore increased violence on a warming planet, but also is directly affecting vulnerable nuclear weapons sites and legacy nuclear waste from weapons development, with disproportionate health effects on local populations.
