<[link removed]>Dear Friend,

$3,768 per second. Every second of 2025. That adds up to $119 billion, which is how much the nine nuclear-armed states spent on their nuclear arsenals according to ICAN research released today.

It is a 19% increase from 2024 spending ($16.8 billion).

The United States continued to spend more than all other nuclear-armed states combined, at $69.2 billion, with China coming in second at $13.5 billion and the United Kingdom in third at $12.6 billion.

<[link removed]> <[link removed]>Read the full report <[link removed]>This year, we’ve documented the long-term costs of nuclear weapons, showing that nuclear-armed states are developing systems they plan to deploy into 2050 or even the next century. We’ve also highlighted the opportunity costs of spending. Global nuclear weapons spending could have paid the UN budget 32 times or powered more than six million homes with solar power.

But we don’t just document the exorbitant costs wasted on nuclear weapons spending, we are also working to put an end to it.

Will you help by sharing this report?

Global spending on nuclear weapons reached a staggering 119 billion dollars last year. And over the past 5 years, it's $471 billion! Imagine what the world would look like if that money had been spent on something other than weapons of mass destruction.
If you had the power to redirect those billions towards a better cause, where would it go?
