 How does nuclear science promote sustainable development? These scientists can measure precious water resources. These doctors can provide better cancer care. These workers are using clean production techniques. And these farmers are using effective climate-smart practices thanks to nuclear science and technology. These people are just a few of the millions around the world who have benefited from the IAEA's technical cooperation program. This program helps countries get the best out of nuclear science and technology while strengthening radiation safety for the protection of people and the environment. It provides the knowledge, equipment and networks that countries need to make progress towards the UN's sustainable development goals. By building national capacity, the technical cooperation program helps ensure countries are empowered to address their most pressing development challenges. Increasing access to cancer care, fighting infectious diseases, improving nutrition, growing stronger crops, increasing farming efficiency, managing insect pests, examining animal health, providing clean power, planning energy security, supporting nuclear newcomers, advancing small modular reactors, tracking limited supplies of water, providing data to protect oceans. Alongside all this work to bring the benefits of nuclear science to the world, are strong cross-cutting commitments to address climate change, improve radiation safety and empower more women to work in this fascinating field. The technical cooperation program also has the flexibility to respond to critical situations quickly from global pandemics to earthquakes and other disasters. At any given moment, there are over 1600 technical cooperation projects in around 150 countries in the areas of health, food, energy, water and much more. Thanks to the IEA's technical cooperation program, our member states can enjoy the many benefits of the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. This program makes a concrete difference to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people every year. The IAEA responds to the world's evolving needs.
