WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT: Emerging Nuclear Concerns in Asia Pacific

Eighty-one years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, forty years since Chernobyl and fifteen years since Fukushima, the world is witnessing a dangerous resurgence of nuclear power and technology. Across the Asia-Pacific, governments and financial institutions—particularly the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB)—are reviving nuclear energy under the banners of clean energy transition, energy security, and meeting the rapidly growing electricity demands of artificial intelligence and data centers.

For many years, movements have spoken about the connections between ecological destruction, extractivism, colonialism, and economic exploitation. Yet the scale of violence unfolding today demands renewed clarity and collective action. The destruction of lives, communities, and ecosystems across the region is not occurring in isolation.

In light of the growing escalation of violence across West Asia, from the ongoing genocide in Palestine to the attacks on Iran, environmental justice movements across the Asia-Pacific came together to reaffirm a truth that has long guided our struggles: environmental justice cannot be separated from...
