ICAN Action Plan

During the 18th World Congress in New Delhi in 2008, IPPNW developed an action plan for nuclear abolition campaigning over the next two years. The action plan focuses on three areas of special concern to physicians:

1) Nuclear Famine (i.e., the medical and public health consequences of the climate effects of regional nuclear war) [Learn more]

2) The removal of highly enriched uranium (HEU) from radiopharmaceutical production [Learn more]

3) Exposing the health and environmental damage caused by an expanding uranium mining industry. [Learn more]

4) Nuclear Weapons Convention Advocacy [Learn more]
