Achieving 35% electrification by 2035, a target called for by Turkey’s environment minister Mr Murat Kurum, who will preside over the COP31 summit in November, will require a significant expansion of clean, reliable and secure electricity.

That means investing in the technologies that can deliver clean power at scale.

Government plans already point to 1,446 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2050, more than three times today's capacity, reflecting the growing recognition that nuclear energy is essential to meeting rising electricity demand while strengthening energy security and reducing emissions.

The demand for nuclear is real. Now investment must keep pace with ambition.

Explore the World Nuclear Investment Guide, launched today, and discover how governments, developers, multi-lateral development banks and the financial community can work together to unlock the capital needed to power the clean energy transition.

As we head towards COP31, maintaining nuclear energy’s visibility in the global climate conversation is critical.

Our Financing Nuclear Briefing Series event during London Climate Action Week is part of building that momentum - bringing together stakeholders to explore how financing frameworks can support the global ambition to at least triple nuclear capacity by 2050.

With a growing coalition of countries supporting the Declaration, the focus now is on:
🌍️ Expanding signatories
🌍️ Making the case for nuclear as essential to delivering net zero and energy security

World Nuclear Association will be at COP31, advocating for nuclear’s role, amplifying industry leadership, and ensuring our voice is heard in discussions on climate finance, policy frameworks, and clean energy systems.

As London Climate Action Week brings the global climate community together, one question remains front and centre: how do we finance clean energy at scale?

On 25 June, World Nuclear Association’s Financing Nuclear Briefing Series will convene leaders from government, finance, and industry to explore how public–private partnerships are accelerating nuclear deployment as a critical component of the clean energy transition.

Hosted in London, this high-level session will focus on:
🔹 How risk is shared between public and private actors
🔹 What financing models are emerging across large-scale reactors and SMRs
🔹 How to mobilise investment to deliver affordable, reliable, low-carbon energy

As momentum builds around tripling nuclear capacity by 2050 and climate finance becomes a central pillar of the global agenda, connecting the nuclear and financial sectors has never been more important.

This event forms part of our broader work to bring nuclear into the global climate and finance conversation and ensure it is recognised as a key enabler of net zero.

We are delighted to welcome Fermi Energia as a new signatory to the Net Zero Nuclear Industry Pledge, joining companies across the global nuclear value chain committed to the goal of tripling nuclear energy capacity by 2050.

“Tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050 is an industrial necessity if Europe is to meet its climate goals while securing affordable, dispatchable power. Estonia's BWRX-300 programme is Fermi Energia's concrete contribution, and we are proud to stand with the global industry committing to deliver it.”

— Kalev Kallemets, CEO, Fermi Energia

“We are pleased to welcome Fermi Energia to the Net Zero Nuclear Industry Pledge. As Estonia advances as a new nuclear country, Fermi Energia’s commitment reflects the growing momentum behind nuclear as the cornerstone of energy systems fit to deliver net zero, energy security and energy access.”

— Dr Sama Bilbao y Leon, Director General, World Nuclear Association
