Join Youth Fusion and Dr. Ana Maria Cetto, esteemed Youth Fusion Elder and newly appointed expert to the UN Independent Scientific Panel on the Effects of Nuclear War. This critical initiative, announced by the UN Secretary-General, is currently working to assess the devastating global consequences of nuclear war and produce a report to guide international action.

We will explore how the risks of nuclear war and approaches to preventing it are perceived across generations and how scientific evidence and advocacy efforts intersect to inform public awareness and political action. Dr Cetto and Youth Fusion will be joined by Emilio Meryn, a young Cambridge physicist, and advocacy representatives, creating a cross-disciplinary and intergenerational exchange.
