The Mapping Nuclear Legacies team attended the third Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons on March 3-7 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. On March 4, we hosted the The Role of Cities in the Promotion of Nuclear Disarmament U.N. side event and reception, a roundtable discussion framed by research on city-level organizing and policy advocacy for nuclear disarmament conducted by Hirokazu Miyazaki, Professor at Northwestern University, and moderated by Denise Duffield, Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles and Back from the Brink.
The discussion was followed by a reception that provided opportunities to engage with city officials and campaigners and discuss local organizing models and campaigns.
This page is dedicated to materials and reflections from the events.
