The fifth webinar in the 2020 CISS Global Forum explores the theme of The Pandemic-Nuclear Nexus: COVID-19, Nuclear War and Disarmament.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of international society, and nuclear disarmament is no exception. On the one hand, COVID-19 has prompted a degree of international cooperation and solidarity in the fight against the pandemic; on the other, conflict and antagonism between global powers have increased. With the “doomsday clock” set at only 100 seconds to midnight, we are currently facing the most serious nuclear threat since the end of World War II.
