  • Hiroshima-ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020
    Hiroshima-ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020 Hiroshima - ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020 --- Contents --- Program Framework Profiles of Guest Educators and Coordinators Contact Persons Program Framework Introduction: Hiroshima Prefecture and the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons ("ICAN"), the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate organization, will hold the Hiroshima-ICAN Academy on Nuclear Weapons and Global Security 2020. Through this training program, we aim to nurture global leaders to make concrete and peaceful contributions to the world. Due to the global spread of COVID-19, the Academy will be composed of two parts. Part 1 is the online learning course and webinars, and Part 2 the in-person training program to take place in Hiroshima City. The dates for Part 2 are to be confirmed after carefully examining the COVID-19 circumstances in Japan and overseas. Further information will be provided at the end of Part 1. Program Framework: The program of the Academy is designed around four themes. The first theme, “Humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons,” is a crucial component of the program, particularly given that the Academy is organized by Hiroshima Prefecture and Part 2 is physically held in Hiroshima. We believe all discussions on nuclear weapons and global security must begin here. The second theme is “Political, legal and technical aspects – nuclear weapons and global security.” Leading experts in the field will offer videos to watch and documents to read as learning materials that aim to shed light on various aspects of the theme. The third theme, “Civil society in action,” will take up a wide range of civil society efforts including education, awareness raising, and advocacy.

  • The Paris Accord and Climate Change the President Has
    The Paris Accord and Climate Change The President has announced that he will withdraw the United States from the Paris Accord, which entered into force November 4, 2016. According to Article 28 of the Accord, the U.S. must wait three years from the November 4, 2016 date to make written notification that it will withdraw from the Accord. The United States then must wait at least an additional year from the date of this written notification to leave the Accord. Hence, given these conditions written into the Accord, U.S. voters awaiting the 2020 presidential election will have the opportunity to decide as a major political issue what actions the United States should take about the Paris Accord and climate change. The President’s announcement of his intention to withdraw from the Paris Accord generated substantial criticism from G-20 national leaders during their last meeting July 7-8 2017 in Hamburg, Germany. Those leaders, other than the US President, have indicated unanimous support for implementing the Paris Accord. The leaders of the European Union and China state they will move ahead with plans to implement the Accord, whether or not the United States remains a signatory. The Paris Accord states as one of its objectives “holding the increase in the global temperature to well below 2 degrees C above the pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees C above pre- industrial levels”. This wording was negotiated in recognition that the Earth (and its present and future populations) will undergo profound and insupportable warming, further acidification of the oceans, and significant sea level rise threatening the world’s coastal communities unless the world’s greenhouse gas emissions are brought under control.

This is a time of nuclear threat; a time of increasing inequality, populism, nationalism, and authoritarianism; a time when a record number of people—over 68 million in 2017—have been driven from their homes; a time when artificial intelligence is on the cusp of changing our world forever.

  • How to Change U.S. Climate Policy After There Is a Price on Carbon
    POLICY PROPOSAL 2019-15 | OCTOBER 2019 How to Change U.S. Climate Policy after There Is a Price on Carbon Roberton C. Williams III The Hamilton Project • Brookings i MISSION STATEMENT The Hamilton Project seeks to advance America’s promise of opportunity, prosperity, and growth. We believe that today’s increasingly competitive global economy demands public policy ideas commensurate with the challenges of the 21st Century. The Project’s economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth, by enhancing individual economic security, and by embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. Our strategy calls for combining public investment, a secure social safety net, and fiscal discipline. In that framework, the Project puts forward innovative proposals from leading economic thinkers — based on credible evidence and experience, not ideology or doctrine — to introduce new and effective policy options into the national debate. The Project is named after Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury Secretary, who laid the foundation for the modern American economy. Hamilton stood for sound fiscal policy, believed that broad-based opportunity for advancement would drive American economic growth, and recognized that “prudent aids and encouragements on the part of government” are necessary to enhance and guide market forces. The guiding principles of the Project remain consistent with these views. ii How to Change U.S. Climate Policy after There Is a Price on Carbon How to Change U.S. Climate Policy after There Is a Price on Carbon Roberton C.

  • 1 a Summary Report on Persuading the Public About Climate Change Using Media and Corporate Sources Jonathan J. Pierce, Megan
    A Summary Report on Persuading the Public about Climate Change Using Media and Corporate Sources Jonathan J. Pierce, Megan Hillyard, Remington Purnell, and Alissa Neuman Seattle University June 12, 2017 Abstract This research evaluates the effectiveness of various conservative and liberal media and corporate statements to persuade the public about climate change in comparison to scientific statements. To achieve this purpose an experimental survey of the US public was conducted in March 2017. Respondents were randomly assigned one of five texts about climate change. Each text argues that mostly human activities are causing climate change, except for one that suggests climate change is a conspiracy by the conservative leaning Washington Times. After reading the text, respondents were asked to complete a survey on their beliefs about the causes of climate change, their level of concern or perceived risk, and whether the US should reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Each text was compared to a scientific statement to determine its relative level of persuasiveness. The results reveal that texts are not more persuasive than a scientific statement. However, the text arguing a conspiracy theory about climate change had a negative effect on respondents’ belief that climate change is mostly caused by humans in comparison to those that read the scientific statement. This was found among all respondents, only conservatives, and only liberals. The results are summarized below. Result 1: Current attempts using texts to persuade the public about the causes of climate change are not more persuasive than scientific statements. This includes attempts in the media such as liberal sources targeting liberals, and conservative sources targeting conservatives.
