PARIS, March 10, 2026 – Today, at the initiative of GIFEN, FinNuclear joined a historic coalition of 25 nuclear industry associations by signing a joint declaration aimed at tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. This declaration was announced at the Nuclear Energy Summit 2026, hosted by France under the high patronage of the International Atomic Energy Agency and in the presence of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron.
As a signatory to this international declaration, we are proud to stand alongside partners from across the globe to advocate for the essential role of nuclear energy as a key pillar of our sustainable, safe, and resilient energy systems.
By this statement, the international nuclear industry speaks with one voice to:
- reaffirm its support for the goal of tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050 to meet energy demand and carbon neutrality targets ;
- support nuclear power as a low-carbon, controllable, and continuous source of electricity, playing a key role in the essential need to sustainably reduce dependence on fossil fuels;
- emphasize that nuclear power is a driver of energy sovereignty, price stability, and the creation of highly skilled jobs;
- expand the range of possibilities by supporting numerous innovative projects: SMR, AMR, low-carbon hydrogen, industrial heat, nuclear medicine, etc.
- commit to training, skills, and operational excellence to ensure the safe and sustainable development of nuclear programs;
- call for the establishment of appropriate, predictable, and stable financial frameworks to enable the industry to pursue these ambitions.
The global nuclear industry is mobilized and ready to fully assume its role as a guarantor of energy security and a catalyst for economic development.
