As a low-carbon electricity source, nuclear energy has a role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts.
NEA workshop in Ottawa, Canada, which convened government and private sector, explored the economic status of SMRs and their role in the transition to a low-carbon energy future.
The new NEA initiative was announced at the 28th meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28).
The COP27 NEA delegation were at the forefront of several discussions on the pathways that nuclear energy can offer to reduce carbon emissions.
The NEA participated in the 14th Clean Energy Ministerial in Goa, India.
