Nuclear Weapons: The Ultimate Existential Risk

It's time again! Welcome to the fourth episode of the Intergenerational Fairness Day Podcast coming June 16th! Join us as we discuss the likelihood of extinction through nuclear war, the fallout, its effects including a nuclear winter, as well as efforts and strategies for prevention and disarmament in Episode 4: Nuclear Weapons: The Ultimate Existential Risk! Listen to your host Lena Winzer discuss a whole new aspect of the intergenerational (un)fairness spectrum with her guest Susi Snyder from the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. She is the programme coordinator at ICAN and was also the president of ICAN's international steering group which pushed for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and in 2017 won the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts. Together they determine whether nuclear war is the ultimate existential risk. For more information on ICAN and their projects - check out the links below!
