Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to
Building traction for nuclear abolition through the UN Day for the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons
Friday May 8, 3pm-4:15pm. Conference Room A. United Nations
In 2013, the United Nations General Assembly established September 26 as the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons (Nuclear Abolition Day). Every year on this date, the UN holds a high-level meeting of world leaders to discuss “urgent and effective measures” to achieve global nuclear disarmament. At the same time, citizens around the world organize events and undertake actions to support nuclear weapons abolition.
In July 2025, the UN Office of Disarmament Affairs hosted an open meeting of civil society organizations to discuss ways to build cooperation and elevate the impact of the day. The result was the launch of NuclearAbolitionDay.org, which organized an open platform, joint appeal, social media action and other events for Nuclear Abolition Day 2025.
Join NuclearAbolitionDay.org core team members and other participating organizations at this meeting on Friday May 8, where we will discuss ways to build on the momentum from 2025 to make Nuclear Abolition Day 2026 even more successful.

Yours

Member, NuclearAbolitionDay.org core team
