Synopsis

Eighty years beyond the first use of a nuclear weapon on civilians and fifty-five years beyond the first Earth Day, the community of nations has not yet fully addressed the dual existential threats of nuclear war and the climate crisis. We cling to the illusion that the most secure are those with the most destructive weapons, even though possessing the fastest missiles or the most warheads does nothing to ensure a livable planet. If large swaths of the earth become too hot for survival, what difference will it make who wins the arms race? We all want to avoid sudden extinction by nuclear war or gradual ecological degradation.

Based on this planet-wide alignment of interest—a “no” to war and a “yes” to the regeneration of the Earth conceived as a single overarching goal—ONE offers a hopeful way forward.
