About the Lecture 

The risk of a nuclear war has increased since the war in Ukraine. There are mixed signals coming from Russia about possible use of nuclear weapons. A nuclear conflict involving less than 3% of the world’s stockpiles could kill a third of the world’s population within two years, according to a new international study led by scientists at Rutgers University. A larger nuclear conflict between Russia and the United States could kill three-fourths of the world’s population in the same timeframe, according to this recent research study. The need for universal nuclear disarmament is very timely under the current geopolitical scenario. Professor Reshmi Kazi specializes in nuclear disarmament and will enlighten our audience on this important subject.
