Commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the war
and the atomic bombings
International Human Resources Development Project “Assembling Peace through Dialogue”▶[JP]

This session will present the reports of the International Human Resource Development Project, developed in collaboration with the British American Security Information Council (BASIC).
It brings together the outcomes of eight months of dialogue and research involving nine young professionals from abroad and seven young participants from Nagasaki, focusing on three core themes: emerging technologies and nuclear weapons, transmission of the memories and role of Nagasaki, and climate change and nuclear weapons.

戦後・被爆80年企画 国際人材育成プロジェクト
「対話で平和を組み立てる」 成果報告会 ▶[EN]

長崎県、長崎市、長崎大学の３者で構成する「核兵器廃絶長崎連絡協議会（PCU-NC）」は、昨年7月、戦後・被爆80年企画として、国際人材育成プロジェクト「対話で平和を組み立てる」を立ち上げました。
このプロジェクトでは、「核兵器を含むリスクから人類と地球を守るために、それぞれの世代が果たさなければいけない責任とはなにか」を主テーマに、英国のシンクタンクBASICと連携し、海外の若者９名と長崎の若者７名が、「新興技術と核兵器」、「記憶の継承と長崎の役割」、「気候変動と核兵器」の３つのテーマについて半年間研究しました。
その研究成果の概要を発表するための報告会を開催します。

Risk at the Intersections: The Nuclear Impacts of Emerging Technologies（交錯する複数のリスク：新興技術がもたらす核への影響）

■プログラム：

AGENDA: DAY 1 (22 JANUARY 2026)

Opening remarks (10:50-11:00 CET)

Session 1 (11:00-12:30)
The Risk Nexus of Emerging Technologies
This session explores how developments in artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities, and outer space intersect with nuclear weapons and related systems. It identifies potential pathways through which their interactions can increase risk of escalation, including nuclear use.

Panelists:
1. Ms. Fei Su (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI)
2. Dr. Jong-Jin Lee (The Institute for Peace and Unification Studies, Seoul National University)
3. Dr. Yasmin Afina (United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research)
4. Dr. Michiru Nishida (Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition (RECNA), Nagsaki University)
Moderator: Dr. Wilfred Wan (SIPRI)

Session 2 (13:30-15:00)
The Adaptability of Nuclear Governance
This session considers ways in which elements of the global nuclear order have addressed technological challenges in the past, and their capacity to reduce risks current and future. It will also reflect on technological futures, including the exponential advancement of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the session will examine how accelerating climate change intensifies risks by fuelling tensions, undermining governance, and compounding systemic threats across security, environmental, and technological domains. Illustrative cases—such as the growing geopolitical competition in the Arctic region—highlight how environmental transformation can reshape geopolitical and nuclear dynamics, even in regions traditionally viewed as global commons.

Panelists:
1. Dr. Florian Krampe (SIPRI)
2. Dr. Nick Ritchie (University of York)
3. Dr. Chiew Ping Hoo (East Asian International Relations (EAIR) Caucus)
4. Dr. Radomir Compel (Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition, Nagasaki University)
Moderator: Dr. Tytti Erasto (SIPRI)

Session 3 (15:30-17:00)
Expanding the Conversation
This session explores evolving trends in the nuclear landscape, highlighting the growing interest in nuclear energy and the broader applications of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. It also examines approaches to operationalizing a multi-stakeholder governance framework in response to this changing environment.

Panelists:
1. Mr. Shota Kamishima (International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA)
2. Mr. Simon Cleobury (Geneva Centre for Security Policy, GCSP)
3. Mr. Almuntaser Albalawi (UNIDIR)
4. Ms. Maria Garzon Maceda (TBC, United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, UNODA)
Moderator: Ms. Sarah Ruth Opatowski (UNIDIR)

AGENDA: DAY 2 (23 JANUARY 2026)

Session 4 (9:00-10:30)
The Effects of Nuclear War in the 21st Century
Against the backdrop of the ongoing UN panel on nuclear war effects, this session examines new research pertaining to the humanitarian, environmental, health, and socioeconomic consequences of nuclear weapons use. It also considers how scientific and policy conversations can be more effectively bridged.

Panelists:
1. Mr. Charles Johnson (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, IPPNW)
2. Dr. Renata Hessmann Dalaqua (UNIDIR)
3. Mr. Paul Ingram (Global Stability Network)
4. Prof. Dr. Masao Tomonaga (UN Panel on the Effects of Nuclear War)
Moderator: Dr. Jaroslav Krasny (RECNA)

Session 5 (11:00-12:30)
Lessons Learned across Regimes
This panel considers ways in which other multilateral regimes have considered governance issues linked to technological development. This includes exploration of the opportunities and risks generated by the advance and diffusion of biotechnology in the context of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, as well as the role of the ChemTech Centre and the Scientific Advisory Board in the context of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Panelists:
1. Dr. Clarissa Rios Rojas (Biological Weapons Convention, Implementation Support Unit, UNODA).
2. Dr. Artem Lazarev (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC)
3. Dr. Peter Hotchkiss (Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons)
4. Dr. Emanuelle Tuerlings (World Health Organization)
Moderator: Dr. Kazuko Hikawa (RECNA)

Session 6 (13:30-15:00)
Addressing Risk at the Intersections
The final session seeks to synthesize insights from previous panels. Building on discussions of climate change, global trends towards militarization, and emerging technologies, it explores broad, cross-cutting strategies for managing 3/4compounded risks and considers how these can be operationalized in upcoming multilateral nuclear processes—including the 2026 NPT Review Conference, the 4th Meeting of States Parties of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and other key forums.

Panelists:
1. Mr. Michael Spies (UNODA)
2. Ms. Dongyoun Cho (The International Institute for Strategic Studies)
3. Dr. Tom Sauer (University of Antwerps)
4. Dr. Andrey Baklitskiy (UNIDIR)
Moderator: Dr. James Revill (UNIDIR)

被爆80年 特別講座
核兵器国の若者との対話

朝長先生ら被爆者は2023年に、世界の若者たちに被爆の実相、核兵器廃絶への思いを直接伝える「ヒバクシャ・ミライ・プロジェクト」を立ち上げました。とりわけ、核兵器を持つ国の若い世代・市民との対話が不可欠との思いからです。
すでに米国・英国の訪問を終え、被爆地からのメッセージを広めてきました。現地でどんな対話があったのか、そこで何を感じたのか――。

■講　師：朝長 万左男
