A nuclear bomb destroys through an uncontrollable chain reaction of atoms being split in two. There are over 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world’s arsenals – ready to destroy the world.
From July to October 2016, civil society around the world is acting in a Chain Reaction of peace to highlight the immorality and insecurity of nuclear weapons, to oppose the institutions and policies perpetuating the nuclear arms race, and to support nuclear disarmament actions by governments and the United Nations.
This action is engaging youth, environmentalists, parliamentarians, mayors, religious leaders, human rights activists and other representatives of civil society.
Chain Reaction is facilitated by UNFOLD ZERO and the Basel Peace Office.
WHEN is CHAIN REACTION 2016?
The period July 8 – October 2 takes in a number of key anniversaries and international commemorative days.
It includes dates such as the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, International Day of Peace and the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
GET INVOLVED in CHAIN REACTION 2016
Organize your own event or participate in one of the many events happening between now and October.

I agree, an awareness should be raised regarding the massive developments of Nuclear weapons around the world. Unfortunately it looks like North Korea continues to develop and strengthen their nuclear weapon. Based on an article written by Rick Kimball: http://blogging101abouteverything.blogspot.hk/2016/10/on-north-koreas-nuclear-testing.html it looks like there is still a long way before we reach a "0" nuclear bomb status.
