British Pugwash projects
British Pugwash runs projects which seek to engage with the government, the scientific community and the public on policy issues.
Current projects include research on the:
- Ethical aspects of armed robotic systems
- Impacts of emerging technologies on nuclear-armed submarines
- Risks of climate change to military infrastructure
- Future energy options vis-a-vis climate change
- Arms control options relating to hypersonic cruise missiles.
Recent projects include the WMD Awareness public education campaign and efforts to establish a British Disarmament Institute.
A history project is documenting the history of the Pugwash conferences since the 1950s.
