The World Nuclear Outlook: The Role of Nuclear in Meeting Energy Demand

With global nuclear energy capacity expected to grow significantly by 2050, the question is no longer whether nuclear will expand, but how quickly and strategically countries can deliver new nuclear capacity. Achieving this scale will require strong collaboration across governments, international organizations, financial institutions, and industry to accelerate innovation and streamline approaches to nuclear energy deployment.

Join this session, hosted by the NICE Future Initiative, as leading international organizations and industry experts provide an overview of the current state of the global nuclear energy sector and emerging trends shaping its expansion Speakers will highlight key insights from recent global nuclear outlook analyses and discuss how countries can meet growing electricity demand through reliable nuclear generation. Experts will also examine the role of advanced and emerging nuclear technologies in expanding nuclear capacity and strengthening long-term energy security. The discussion will further explore strategies for developing the skilled workforce required to design, construct, license, and operate an expanded nuclear fleet, as well as innovative approaches to financing and enabling large-scale nuclear deployment.

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A with participants.
