Had a special opportunity to go to Ukraine, where I studied in 2017. Grateful to have screened JARA, discussed global health, and presented our From Harm to Justice policy paper at #RUTA Annual Conference
Thank you for the conversations, solidarity, and unforgettable moments🇺🇦 – at Ukraine

‼️Nuclear-affected communities need recognition, accountability, redress, better healthcare, environmental remediation, and a meaningful role in decisions that affect their lives.

Nuclear harm did not end when the detonations stopped. It continues through untreated health needs, contaminated land, inadequate social protection, limited legal recognition, intergenerational injustice and more.

Spent last week with Setsuko Thurlow, an A-bomb survivor from Hiroshima and anti-nuclear campaigner based in Canada. The week with her made me reflect a lot on our shared work towards abolition and how much I am learning from this intergenerational dialogue

UNODA High Representative @INakamitsu regrets that States parties to the NPT were unable to agree on outcome document. It remains the cornerstone of our collective security architecture. States should make use of all available avenues for dialogue to eliminate the nuclear threat.
It was a great conversation which allowed me to reflect a lot on the work I’ve been doing since 2021! Thank you @NTI_WMD for highlighting my story!

The Doomsday Clock moving ahead to 89 seconds to midnight is a stark reminder that we must act NOW. As @BulletinAtomic put it: “Every second of delay in reversing course increases the probability of global disaster.” But there is reason for hope, like the #NuclearBan Treaty. 🧵
Today, the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board sets the #DoomsdayClock at 89 seconds to midnight.
"The world depends on immediate action."
