COP Contribution: « tripling pledge »
Tripling Nuclear Energy by 2050
Among its international activities, the CSFN contributes in particular to promoting the Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy by 2050, in order to achieve our climate goals. The CSFN took part in the launch of this initiative at COP28 in Dubai, which brought together 25 countries. Since then, further countries have endorsed the declaration, notably at COP29, COP30 and the 2026 Nuclear Energy Summit. To date, 39 countries have endorsed the declaration.
Tripling nuclear - operational initiatives
Following this “ministerial” Declaration, operational initiatives have been developed with the support of the World Nuclear Association:
The Net Zero Nuclear Industry Pledge, also launched at COP28 in December 2023, now brings together more than 140 companies and organisations from across the nuclear industry, including power plant operators, technology suppliers and innovative companies. Together, they support the goal of tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050 by committing to maximise the contribution of the existing fleet, accelerate the deployment of new reactors, and mobilise the industry to make nuclear power a pillar of the transition to carbon neutrality.
The Tripling Statement of Support by Financial Institutions brings together 14 major international banks and financial institutions, which expressed their support for the same tripling goal in September 2024. By signing this statement, they commit to mobilising the capital needed to finance major low-carbon nuclear projects around the world.
The Large Energy Users Pledge, for its part, brings together major energy-intensive companies. These stakeholders commit to contributing to the development of nuclear energy -a source of decarbonised, stable electricity available around the clock - essential for powering their infrastructure while achieving their climate goals.
