Dear friends,
【Please spread this】
Please endorse the following
International petition.
"Say No to Nuclear Financing –
World Bank and ADB, Why Turn Away from the Right Path?"
Why this petition matters:
The World Bank and the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) are international financial institutions
funded by governments to support economic development, poverty
reduction, and infrastructure.
Until now, both institutions have
avoided supporting nuclear power projects for the following
reasons:
nuclear proliferation
risks
serious concerns over
safety
radioactive waste
extremely high costs
On June 10, the World Bank’s
Board decided to lift its ban on financing nuclear projects.
The ADB is currently reviewing
its energy policy, and indications suggest it may also move to allow
support for nuclear power.
However, the problems of nuclear
power — safety risks, radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and
high costs — remain unresolved.
Introducing nuclear power in
developing countries would impose major risks and costs not only on
today’s citizens but also on future generations.
For these reasons, we are
preparing to send the following petition to both the World Bank and
ADB. We ask for your support by adding your signature. We will
submit all signatures and comments to the World Bank and ADB.
👉Let’s act together to prevent
today’s decisions from burdening tomorrow’s generations.
