As well, WILPF has long raised concerns with the humanitarian and environmental catastrophe caused by nuclear weapons. We have been part of efforts in the United States, Australia, and elsewhere to collect and disseminate information about the effects of nuclear weapon production, testing, and use. 

Reaching Critical Will participated in the series of conferences on the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons hosted by Norway (2013), Mexico (2014), and Austria (2014). We coordinated and edited a global study on this subject ahead of the first conference in Norway, and we have since then supported activist colleagues in disseminating further work.

 It is not only the impacts of weapons and armed violence that is alarming. It is also the increasingly militarised response to the climate crisis and environmental destruction, centring technological solutions, often spearheaded by the military, instead of fundamentally changing the systems of capitalism, militarism, and patriarchy as main drivers of environmental disaster. 

By calling for complete and total disarmament, and by challenging these oppressive systems, WILPF is contributing to a world free from the environmental disasters associated with war and weapons.
