While there are undoubtedly natural forces at work that contribute to the changing climate, there is no doubt now that humans are accelerating these changes by releasing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which induce a steady growth of the planet’s temperature.

Before we can reverse this trend, slowing its growth is the first goal. For this to happen there must be a massive change in human behavior, including the use of energy sources that do not produce carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. Among these changes are the new generation of nuclear and plasma technical solutions for energy, monitoring and storage of spent fuel, waste management, simulations, sustainable societal challenges and more.
