BACKGROUND
Eighty years after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, the threat of nuclear weapons has not gone away – it has evolved.
The United Nations & the UN Association have long championed nuclear disarmament, working to reduce the catastrophic risks these weapons pose to humanity. In today’s increasingly unstable global climate, marked by open threats, rising tensions, and a renewed reliance on nuclear deterrence, this mission is more urgent than ever.
Join us for a special meeting of the Warwick District United Nations Association as we welcome Lauren Muir, Policy & Outreach Officer at UNA-UK. Lauren leads UNA-UK’s work on nuclear disarmament and supports the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the United Nations.
LAUREN WILL SPEAK ABOUT
- The current & future nuclear weapons landscape
- UNA-UK’s disarmament work & campaigning strategy
- What practical steps we can take – as individuals & communities – to influence UK policy & global attitudes
WHY THIS MATTERS
As more countries enhance or expand their nuclear arsenals, the possibility of use – by design, miscalculation, or accident – becomes disturbingly plausible. This is not just a foreign policy issue; it’s an existential challenge!
A second deeply concerning development is well illustrated by the open threats made by Russia to use nuclear weapons in the conflict it triggered through its unlawful & inhumane invasion of Ukraine.
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Lauren joined UNA-UK in 2020 and plays a central role in shaping its nuclear policy work. With a background in Geopolitics & Security, she brings both academic depth and frontline advocacy experience. Her role connects citizens and campaigners with decision-makers in Parliament.
