Abstract

Today, the risk of nuclear conflict is higher than it has been in decades. Geopolitical
tensions, irresponsible nuclear threats and nuclear blackmail make the taboo against the use of nuclear weapons look increasingly fragile. In 2022, the famous Doomsday Clock was set to an unprecedented 90 seconds to midnight, which is the closest it has been since the Clock's experts started to assess the risk of nuclear war in 1947.
