Nuclear Threats
Horizon 2045 launched with a bold ambition: to expose the flaws of nuclear deterrence theory and create a new framework for human and planetary security absent the existential terror of nuclear war.
Through a rigorous, multi-phase research and development process, our team continues to break new ground on this strand of our work, creating new tools and new pathways for influencing and changing the nuclear weapons status quo.
