Join us for a civ­il soci­ety round­table on 6 March 2025, from 10:00 to 14:00 (SAST), either
online or in per­son at the Desmond & Leah Tutu Lega­cy Foun­da­tion in Cape Town.
Nuclear and envi­ron­men­tal issues affect us all. When the Chornobyl nuclear dis­as­ter struck
in 1986, the radioac­tive cloud cir­cled the globe twice, with con­t­a­m­i­na­tion reach­ing as far as
West Africa. This cat­a­stro­phe led to major reforms in nuclear safe­ty reg­u­la­tions.
Today, a new and urgent chal­lenge is unfold­ing in Ukraine, where the largest nuclear pow­er
plant in Europe is under mil­i­tary occupation—once again putting our planet’s safe­ty at risk.
This round­table will bring togeth­er indi­vid­u­als and organ­i­sa­tions con­cerned about nuclear
safe­ty and the envi­ron­men­tal impact of armed con­flict.

In part­ner­ship with Project 90 by 2030, SAFCEI, Koe­berg Alert, Truth Hounds, Project Expe­dite Jus­tice and the Ukrain­ian Asso­ci­a­tion of South Africa, this event will fos­ter open dis­cus­sions on:

  • The envi­ron­men­tal impact of war
  • Nuclear safe­ty risks in con­flict zones
  • Strate­gies for inter­na­tion­al mon­i­tor­ing and advo­ca­cy
Be part of the con­ver­sa­tion that dri­ves real change. RSVP at [email protected]
For online par­tic­i­pa­tion please reg­is­ter.
