Nobel Laureates Warn: World on Brink of New Nuclear Catastrophe

Eighty years after the first atomic bomb test, Nobel laureates and nuclear experts are sounding the alarm about a renewed and escalating risk of nuclear war. Recent conferences, including a major gathering at the University of Chicago, have highlighted the failure of global diplomacy and the rapid expansion of nuclear arsenals, particularly by countries like China. Experts warn that the systems and agreements that once helped prevent nuclear conflict are eroding, while misinformation, global tensions, and technological advances like AI are making the situation even more volatile. The Nobel Laureate Assembly has issued a declaration urging world leaders to take immediate action to reduce nuclear risks and prioritize diplomacy. The consensus is clear: without urgent international cooperation, the world faces its most dangerous nuclear era since the Cold War.
