Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arms Control & Peace, International, International, Foreign Affairs & National Security
Mission: Nuclear threat initiative is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to protect our lives and livelihoods, our environment and quality of life for this and future generations from the growing risk of catastrophic attacks with nuclear, biological, radiological or chemical weapons-what we call weapons of mass destruction and disruption (wmdd)-as well as devastating cyberattacks. We design and implement innovative projects with partners around the world to directly reduce threats, to show governments the way on threat reduction, and to build momentum and support for action on a larger scale.
Programs: See statement 2 for accomplishments of the global nuclear policy program.
see statement 2 for accomplishments of the communications and public education program.
see statement 2 for accomplishments of the nuclear security and minimization program.
nti aims to create projects that catalyze further governmental and international action on nuclear, biological and chemical threats, through multi-year projects, all of which were active in this tax year. Nti's biological security program works around the world to prevent, detect and respond to biological threats. The threats arising from natural or deliberately induced disease outbreaks are both a health and a security issue. To find solutions to the extraordinarily complex biological threat, nti is pioneering new approaches toward health and security.
