The IAEA is highlighting its flagship initiatives -addressing challenges like climate change, energy sustainability and public health - at its 68th General Conference, providing a platform to review progress, seek input from member countries and outline the way forward.
The Agency supports countries with scientific advice, education, training and technical resources, providing key nuclear data and supporting the diverse applications of nuclear technologies. In recent years, the IAEA has launched a number of flagship initiatives that connect public and private partners to address some of most serious global challenges.
"Nuclear science and technology offer solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues. And the IAEA is at the forefront of nuclear science and technology, equipping countries with the tools and expertise to tackle these critical challenges," said IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi. "Our flagship initiatives are already driving significant progress thanks to the support of our many partners and donors in these key areas."
A range of side events will be held during the General Conference to share this progress and discuss next steps. These are open to all attendees of the conference.
