Excerpt: “From nuclear energy making history at COP28, to new programmes in food security and water resource management, to conducting safeguards in war zones, to driving safety and security around the world — including helping prevent a nuclear accident in Ukraine — to improving access to nuclear technology, this was an eventful year for the IAEA. Seventy years after the ‘Atoms for Peace’ speech inspired the creation of the Agency, in 2023 the IAEA continued to address needs of countries in tackling global challenges using nuclear techniques, including through flagship initiatives, while maintaining vigilant oversight of nuclear facilities. … In 2023, the IAEA organized a range of conferences, symposia and workshops, covering domains like climate change and nuclear innovations for net zero, stakeholder engagement, supply of uranium raw materials, radioactive waste management, decommissioning and floating nuclear power plants. Among other highlights were multiple side events at the 67th General Conference, including on one of the Agency’s flagship initiatives, Atoms4NetZero.”
