As in previous years, the nuclear sector was represented at this major event and nucleareurope continued to provide support to the Nuclear for Climate initiative. This was a grassroots initiative gathering over 150 associations with the goal of educating policymakers and the public about the necessity of including nuclear energy among the carbon-free solutions to climate change.  Nuclear for climate brought together professionals and scientists of the international nuclear community, coordinated via regional and national nuclear associations and technical societies. The international community recognised the urgent need to decarbonize electricity generation to protect people and the planet from air pollution and climate change.
