G7 Nations Wisely Put the Brakes on a New Arms Race

The Council on Strategic Risks commends the G7 nations for their 2023 Hiroshima Vision, which prioritizes risk reduction, transparency, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons over entering a new nuclear arms race.

• The 2023 G7 Leaders’ Hiroshima Vision on Nuclear Disarmament emphasizes several key priorities to ensure responsible nuclear behavior, including the avoidance of nuclear testing and use, the implementation of transparency measures regarding stockpiles and strategic actions, the pursuit of risk reduction steps, and leadership in nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation.
• The G7 nations intend to increase support for international cooperation and existing agreements, specifically identifying the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as the foundational framework for their actions.
• The document warns that the world faces a high risk of nuclear weapon use due to the breakdown of arms control agreements and a lack of dialogue among nuclear possessors, which could lead to a dangerous expansion of tactical nuclear weapons capabilities.
