Nuclear Power and Climate Change

Commissioned by Greenpeace Germany, May 26th 2009

Foreword

After years of lurking in the shadows, nuclear power is now formally on the agenda 
of the international climate negotiations due to be concluded in Copenhagen, 
Denmark in December 2009. In the official first draft text circulated in advance 
of the June 1st-9th 2009 Bonn round of negotiations, nations party to the United 
Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change have been presented a range of options on the 
future of nuclear power within the post-20 12 climate framework. Given the near 
decade long exclusion of nuclear power from Kyoto's international mechanisms 
(Clean Development Mechanism, CDM, and Joint Implementation, JI) it was 
inevitable that efforts would be made to put it back on the agenda for the next 
framework period.

Given the enormous challenges to devise a post-20 12 framework that will be 
effective in large-scale GHG reductions, it is indeed a dangerous development that 
nuclear power is once again on the international climate agenda. The motive of the 
nuclear industry is clear. Without access to the anticipated financing that will 
be part a Copenhagen agreement, the prospects for large scale expansion of 
nuclear power (in particular in the South) will be severely curtailed.

This revised report, details the progression of nuclear power back on to the
international climate agenda, and those lobbying for and against its resuscitation 
into the CDM and JI.
