Hosted by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) and Sweden’s Ministry of Climate and Enterprise, the event aimed to identify practical solutions to scale up nuclear projects, enhance energy security, and promote economic growth.<\/p>\n
Representatives from 21 nations reaffirmed their commitment to leveraging nuclear technology as a vital tool in the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n
At the heart of the discussions was the challenge of achieving net zero carbon emissions through nuclear energy expansion.<\/p>\n
With the global demand for clean energy growing, the conference participants underscored the urgency of speeding up nuclear developments. A joint communiqu\u00e9 from the attending energy ministers<\/a> stressed the need to triple nuclear energy capacity worldwide by 2050.<\/p>\n “Recognising the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for enhanced energy security, we underscore the strategic importance of nuclear energy in achieving a clean, sustainable, climate-neutral future,” the ministers stated.<\/p>\n Their commitment reflected the growing global consensus that nuclear energy is key to both decarbonisation and energy independence.<\/p>\n The conference focused on practical steps to accelerate nuclear energy expansion, including the construction of new reactors and the extension of the lifespan of existing ones.<\/p>\nCollaboration and commitment to nuclear growth<\/h3>\n
