What are the most urgent and important needs for actions to control nuclear weapons and climate change now, and ones that Japan’s Hiroshima Summit can best supply in May?
To assist in finding answers to these questions at an early stage, the G7 Research Group, Soka University, Soka Gakkai International, and the International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation sponsored a one-day invitational, international conference at Soka University in Tokyo on March 29, 2023. At this hybrid live-streamed event, experts from the educational, academic, civil society, and government communities gathered in person and virtually to share their perspectives and offer their best analysis and advice on what Japan’s Hiroshima Summit should do to control nuclear and climate risks. The conference concluded by assembling specific recommendations that command the most consensus at this event, as the basis for priority recommendations to be sent by the sponsors to the G7 planners themselves.
