In March 2023, IPPNW established a new office in Geneva, the “Peace Capital” of the world. In just a year, IPPNW’s presence in the center for medicine and world peace is facilitating our ability to better coordinate with the like-minded organizations. Major highlights include meeting with WHO Director General, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, to discuss the renewal of the WHO’s 1987 study, “Effects of Nuclear War on Health and Health Services”; coordinating more than 150 medical journals, including the Lancet and the British Medical Journal, to call for urgent steps to decrease the growing danger of nuclear war; participating in Norwegian People’s Aid and the ICRC’s NukeEXPO in Brussels and Oslo; and much more.
Join IPPNW and Greater Boston PSR this September for our 7th annual Global Health and Peace Awards.
This year’s event will honor Drs. Elaine Scarry and Richard Clapp for the extraordinary work they have done as longtime leaders for climate action and nuclear disarmament. We will also give our first Lifetime Achievement Award to Dr. Robert Jay Lifton.
We are thrilled to gather with you this September to enjoy beautiful live music, food and drink, and socializing with friends and colleagues who share our concern about the twin existential threats of nuclear war and climate change. A quartet from the Longwood Symphony Orchestra will provide the evening’s musical entertainment.
