Move the Nuclear Weapons Money:
Divesting from Destruction. Investing in peace and sustainability
Tuesday July 30
5pm – 6:30pm Central Europe time
11:00 – 12:30 USA Eastern time
Over the next ten years the nuclear armed countries plan to spend over 1 trillion US dollars on the nuclear arms race.
Those manufacturing the nuclear weapons are making a fortune, and are actively promoting the nuclear arms race. But everyone else suffers. Imagine how this money could instead end poverty, help reverse climate change, fund sustainable development goals, and support peace, education, health and welfare.
This webinar will explore strategies and actions to reverse the financial interests in nuclear weapons through actions to cut nuclear weapons budgets, end investments in nuclear weapons corporations, increase investments in peace and sustainability, and promote the economic value of peace.
Speakers:
- Laurie Smolenski, Institute for Economics and Peace, USA
The economic value of peace - Maevyn Davis-Rackerby, PNND, USA.
Cutting nuclear weapons budgets - Thies Kätow, World future Council/PNND, Germany
Nuclear weapons divestment by states, cities and pension funds - Rob van Riet, World Future Council, Chile/Netherlands
