About Global Zero
The international Global Zero movement launched in December 2008 includes more than 300 political, military, business, faith and civic leaders -and hundreds of thousands of citizens — working for the phased, verified elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide.
Global Zero members believe that the only way to eliminate the nuclear threat — including proliferation and nuclear terrorism — is to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, secure all nuclear materials and eliminate all nuclear weapons: global zero.
The movement combines grassroots and media outreach, policy analysis and direct dialogue with governments to make the elimination of nuclear weapons an urgent global imperative and to bring all nuclear weapons countries to the table to negotiate the phased reduction of arsenals to zero. Since its launch, Global Zero has become the leading international movement for the elimination of nuclear weapons – and has been instrumental in building the political consensus necessary to achieve it.
