 At COP26, held in Glasgow, UK, this month, the IAEA, alongside youth groups, countries and other organisations, helped to put nuclear science and technology on the agenda. Throughout the conference, we were able to continue a dialogue with those with whom we already had it. And we were also able to start and to establish new partnerships. More and more countries, more and more groups are looking at nuclear as an evident part of the solution. Though most of the UN's climate conference was focused on other solutions to the crisis, there was a noticeable shift in interest towards nuclear technologies. The IAEA Director-General was interviewed on site by major media outlets, as well as live in the Action Hub by a Financial Times journalist. This high-profile discussion attracted a small group of anti-nuclear protesters, offering the opportunity for IAEA experts to continue the debate afterwards. Director-General Grossi also met with dozens of world leaders and decision-makers to discuss ways their countries and regions could benefit from nuclear science and its applications in the fight against climate change. This included climate envoys, heads of state and leaders of international organisations. Even today, the nuclear energy is contributing to about 20% of production of electricity in the UNEC region. So we call it a deep dive into individual elements of the energy mix. We did it with fossils, we did it with renewables, so we did also with the nuclear energy. And we have the scientific proofs that the nuclear energy is leading to decarbonisation of the whole energy production. The IAEA organised high-level events, promoting the benefits of low-carbon nuclear energy, as well as discussing ways that nuclear science can help countries adapt to and measure climate change. IAEA experts also spoke at events held by other partners, including one on Energy Day run by the United Kingdom, this year's host country. Young environmentalists were also visibly advocating for nuclear power, with eye-catching symbols and scientific facts. I think there's only actually a minority of people who are locked in anti-nuclear ideology. I find most people receptive to it. Every event I do, I get lots of people who were on the fence or previously on the fence and they ask questions and they change their minds. So it's actually very easy to do. I think it's just an issue where people don't talk about it and it's really important to have those conversations. The activist nuclear flash mob attracted attention on the streets of Glasgow and their facts about radioactive bananas and uranium pellets the size of gummy bears made many cop attendees stop and listen. To engage social media audiences, the IAEA conducted live interviews with environmental activists and experts. One of whom is a former opera singer who now leads a grassroots organisation that fights to save nuclear plants from being replaced by fossil fuels. On Youth Day, the IAEA ran a shared event with the Nuclear Institute's Young Generation Network where Director-General Grossi awarded student Claire Lee a prize for winning the NetZero competition with her group's concept for decarbonising the port of Singapore using nuclear power. The conceptions that a lot of the general public has which is like the big scary nuclear accidents but I think after going through my internship I realised that I think nuclear is a very stable and clean form of basal energy and it is, you do need it as part of the energy mix if you want to have a very reliable like form of clean energy. A quick straw poll of a small sample of cop attendees showed a few were staunchly pro-nuclear power, a few were still strongly anti but most were interested in all solutions and looking to hear more information. Unless we manage to know how to handle waste, I'll be sketching. I think the biggest the biggest challenge that we have nowadays is the question of safety but I think that if we improve we can certainly use nuclear power. I don't know enough about it to have a real opinion about it. We need to consider our science as a base. Then less passion and more science is what I believe we need. There are a lot of scientists who are for that and I'm you know tends to believe them. I think proper education, right education about it is very important. Even a common public should be told about this in some way that they understand. Whenever we take make a conscious choice we have to look to take into account the both negatives and the positives and ensure that we have very minimal impact on the environment. Nuclear energy is a new power and we don't have installed yet but it is in some part necessary. Using nuclear power may be a solution you know for now the world has to think quickly. This was only the second time the IAEA as the Voice for Nuclear Science attended the Global Climate Change Conference.
