NTI Highlights Nuclear and Space Security Initiatives at Munich Conference

The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) took part in the 62nd Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany, from February 13 to 15, 2026. The organization hosted and co-hosted several events focused on reducing risks related to nuclear, biological, and emerging technology threats.

NTI President and CEO Christine E. Wormuth, along with colleagues, led sessions that concentrated on strategies for addressing security challenges in these areas. The organization’s activities included a roundtable discussion and collaborative events with other international groups.

During the conference, NTI and the Euro-Atlantic Security Leadership Group (EASLG) organized a lunch event where two statements were issued. One statement focused on preventing accidental or unauthorized use of nuclear weapons, while the other addressed the importance of space security and stability.

NTI, together with the Asia-Pacific Leadership Network and Grandview Institution, released a statement supporting measures to prevent the accidental, mistaken, or unauthorized use of nuclear weapons. The organization also joined EASLG in publishing a statement on space security and stability.
