Atoms4NetZero was launched as a global initiative to support countries in using nuclear energy for achieving net zero emissions.
It was launched by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in January 2025 at COP27 (27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).
It aims to help countries integrate nuclear energy into their national energy mix for clean, reliable, and sustainable power generation.
It focuses on reducing carbon emissions, decarbonising electricity, and improving energy security in all sectors.
It uses tools like MESSAGE (Model for Energy Supply Strategy Alternatives and their General Environmental Impacts) and FRAMES (Framework for Modelling of Energy Systems) for energy planning.
Nuclear energy provides about 10% of global electricity and 25% of low-carbon electricity.
