Duration
7 months
Description
As the possessors of over ninety percent of the world’s nuclear weapons, the United States and Russia play a critical role in ensuring global nuclear security. The disruption of U.S.-Russian relations has put on hold nuclear weapons negotiations at a time when a host of emerging technologies and geopolitical pressures threaten global strategic stability. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has been facilitating Vatican-hosted nuclear security dialogues among American, Russian, and international experts and religious representatives. With previous Corporation support, two meetings in Rome focused on nuclear arsenals and safety. The additional grant would enable an international meeting in Moscow to explore approaches to reducing the risks posed by nuclear weapons.
