ANS sponsored 10 young nuclear professionals from the Young Generation Network, a branch of the U.K.'s Nuclear Institute, to attend COP26, the 2021 United Nations climate change conference, held in Glasgow, Scotland, where they helped deliver what was "by all accounts nuclear's best representation at the COP ever," according to George Burnett, one of four U.K.-based attendees sponsored by ANS. The ANS-sponsored delegates-who hailed from Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States-volunteered at the Nuclear for Climate booth to share the message #NetZeroNeedsNuclear, the premise of the Nuclear for Climate initiative's COP26 Position Paper. The booth was a hub for engagement with visitors from all over the world. The delegates also fanned out throughout the exhibits to attend events and panel sessions, ask questions, and engage in conversations about nuclear power.
