Net Zero Nuclear

Net Zero Nuclear (NZN) is a transformative initiative that calls for unprecedented collaboration between government and industry to at least triple global nuclear capacity and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. 

Managed by the World Nuclear Association, the NZN platform drives impact through government advocacy and engagement to create new avenues for nuclear-focused policy.  

Creating and leveraging key moments throughout the year, NZN ensures that nuclear stays at the top of the agenda at major energy conferences, global climate dialogues and more.

Since 2000, nuclear generation has supplied, on average, 2500 TWh of electricity each year. Worldwide, nuclear reactors now supply around 10% of the world’s electricity, and around one-quarter of all clean, low-carbon electricity.

But with electricity demand expected to more than double by 2050, nuclear needs to grow faster.  Simply put, our world needs nuclear energy. And to meet today’s challenges and move us towards tomorrow’s goals, we need more of it.

COP28 produced a Ministerial Declaration and an Industry Pledge, both of which support the goal of a tripling of nuclear capacity by 2050.  So far, the Industry Pledge has been endorsed by over 120 companies, headquartered in 25 countries, and active in over 140 nations worldwide,

Creating and leveraging key moments throughout the year, Net Zero Nuclear ensures that nuclear stays at the top of the agenda at major energy conferences, global climate dialogues and more.  Join us as we prepare for nuclear energy’s next major moment at COP 30 in Brazil. Over the next 12 months, Net Zero Nuclear will lead initiatives and events designed to secure new pledges, drive industry engagement, and influence global policy.

"It is now time to move forward: let’s translate ambition into pragmatic policies, good intentions into affordable financing, and deadlines into on-time on-budget delivery of new nuclear energy projects.”
