How many warheads are in the United States stockpile? "The United States has embarked on a wide-ranging nuclear modernization program that will ultimately see every nuclear delivery system replaced with newer versions over the coming decades. In this issue of the Nuclear Notebook, we estimate that the United States maintains a stockpile of approximately 3,708 warheads—an unchanged estimate from the previous year."

Next week, States Parties gather in Geneva for the second Preparatory Committee for the 2026 Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The Treaty is regarded as the basis of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and an essential foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. It rests on three pillars: 1️⃣ Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons 2️⃣ Furthering the goal of nuclear disarmament 3️⃣ Promoting cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The next Review Conference of the NPT will be held in 2026. In the three years leading up to that meeting, the Preparatory Committee convenes annually to consider principles, objectives and ways to promote the full implementation of the Treaty, as well as its universality, and to make recommendations to the Review Conference. At this second Preparatory Committee meeting, States parties will consider specific matters of substance relating to the implementation of the Treaty and relevant decisions.

The General Assembly commemorates 26 September as the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons. We need to stop the madness before it's too late.

Day 2: Global Action for "No Money for Nuclear Weapons" ICAN's latest report "Surge: Global Nuclear Weapons Spending 2023" exposes the massive increase in global nuclear weapons spending. In 2023, these nine countries spent $91.4 billion on nuclear weapons, of which the private sector earned at least 30%. But it doesn’t stop there. What could this money achieve if it were used for life-saving measures instead? One year of nuclear weapons spending is enough to provide 13 years of food for 45 million people currently at risk of famine. 💬 What actions will YOU take to support the "No Money for NuclearWeapons" movement?
