Description
While scientists and specialists have been persistently doing research and exploring every potential to push CTBT earlier ratification, people in other fields gradually turn their attention from this issue over time. It’s therefore increasingly crucial now and in the future to educate younger generation, raise the public’s awareness and keep the decision makers’ alert on the importance of CTBT for nuclear disarmament, international security and human well-being as well. First, there can be more courses & lectures on CTBT in universities and schools. Many issues are associated with nuclear test and nuclear weapons, such as climate change, public health, sustainable development, let alone the threats from nuclear accident, nuclear war and nuclear winter as well. Second, educators keep up with the updated progress of monitoring and verifying technologies and make good use of knowledge and scientific achievements on CTBTO website in class. Third, scientific & technical experts are supposed to engage more deeply and widely into the young students and the public. Fourth, the scientific and civil applications of any new verification techniques should involve more attention of the media, especially the New Media, through which to awaken the public & promote the concerned decision makers’ early ratification of CTBT.
