Government Policies and Global Strategic Governance for Planetary Sustainability, Control of Nuclear Energy and the Elimination of Nuclear Tests

Not scheduled
Poster 5. Monitoring for Nuclear Explosions in a Global Context

Speaker

Erasmo Adolfo Saenz Sanchez (Physics student, UNAM)

Description

This research conducts an analysis of the production of nuclear energy, the nuclear tests and its negative impacts on the planet. Currently there is a dangerous and contradictory discussion that many governments make of nuclear energy, showing it as an energy that does not contribute to the generation of CO2, which reduces dependence on the use and exploitation of hydrocarbons, justifying less damage to the environment. But this discussion tries to cover up and does not mention the negative effects of nuclear power and explosions, which produce radioactive waste with almost no elimination. Nuclear power plants are subject to human accidents and failures that have irreversible consequences, coupled with the collateral damage of the nuclear tests and nuclear energy production. This analysis makes a proposal for better forms of global governance that will influence government policies in favor of strategies to improve global sustainability.
