| Countries: | Europe |
| Donors: | private donors |
| Partners: | NIRS, Ecodefense, Global 2000, BI-Luchow-Dannenberg, Sortir du Nucleaire and WISE |
| Issues: | Energy & Climate; Gender & Rights |
| Duration: | 09/2015 - 01/2016 |
Together with other clean energy groups from across the world, WECF launched an international campaign in preparation of December’s COP 21 climate summit in Paris, to ensure that climate negotiators will stand up for clean energy, and not to listen to the false promises of the nuclear energy lobby.
WECF director Sascha Gabizon: “Nuclear power manifests a wide range of human rights violations, from the universal human rights to life and health, to disproportionate impacts on indigenous peoples, women, children, and future generations. It is sad that the COP21 Climate Summit takes place in France, where the nuclear industry has had unchecked powers.”
