The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) in partnership with the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) are holding four workshops on nuclear weapons issues in February 2010 in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.
The New Clear Exchange workshop will be a dynamic mix of information and discussion about nuclear weapons issues. We hope to excite lively discussions with ICAN partners and other NGOs on how nuclear disarmament is interconnected with the issues of climate change, aid and development, domestic nuclear issues and social justice. We will provide contemporary and easy to understand information and resources on:
- Current nuclear weapons capabilities and national and international efforts towards disarmament
- The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (in the lead up to the 2010 Review Conference at the UN in May)
- The Model Nuclear Weapons Convention (developed by NGOs internationally)
- The United Nations Treaty System and how NGOs work within the system
WHO IS INVITED:
The workshops are specifically targeted for environment non-government organisations, aid and development organisations, church groups, unions and international studies students and academics, as well as those already involved in nuclear issues in Australia and globally.
Each forum will have limited spaces and we look forward to hearing your expressions of interest.
