English: Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Science and Technology: Addressing Current and Emerging Development Challenges. IAEA, Vienna, Austria. 29 November 2018
SESSION 2: Addressing Climate Change Challenges
PANEL 2.2: Monitoring and mitigation of the impact of climate change
Climate change is a global challenge that will impact all countries. Extreme temperatures, floods and droughts are becoming more frequent. Changes in food growth patterns are slowly becoming apparent. New human and animal diseases are appearing in regions where they used to be absent. In this session, the Conference will focus on the applications of nuclear science and technology to monitor environmental changes to the ecosystems and to adapt to new climate realities. Taking into account the discussions of the International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century, held in Abu Dhabi from 30 October to 1 November 2017, the Conference will discuss the role of nuclear power in climate change mitigation, which many Member States consider to be an important option in this context. The discussion will include the role the IAEA should play in raising awareness and further enhancing the application of nuclear techniques in addressing climate change challenges.
