De: "'Susi Snyder' via ICAN Campaigners" ican-campaigners@googlegroups.com Asunto: [ICAN] $2,898 per second. That’s how much the nuclear-armed countries spent on nuclear weapons last year Fecha: 17 de junio de 2024, 9:03:56 CEST Para: ICAN Campaigners ican-campaigners@googlegroups.com Responder a: susi@icanw.org
Dear campaigners,
ICAN released its fifth annual report on nuclear weapon spending today: “Surge: 2023 Global Nuclear Weapons Spending https://www.icanw.org/surge_2023_global_nuclear_weapons_spending”.
Here’s what you need to know:
Country Spending in 2023 China $11,850,032,735- $376/second France $6,060,606,061 - $192/ second India $2,657,874,340 - $84/second Israel $1,090,804,771 - $35/second North Korea $856,333,333 - $27/second Pakistan $1,011,005,630 - $32/ second Russia $8,308,544,638 - $263/second United Kingdom $8,058,218,532 - $256/ second United States $51,500,000,000 - $1,633/second
For a total of $91,393,420,041 - $2,898/ second spent on nuclear weapons in 2023
It’s $10.8 billion more than in 2022. The United States spent more than all of the other nuclear-armed states combined and showed the biggest one-year increase to $51.5 billion. China was next in line, with spending of $11.9 billion and Russia spent $8.3 billion.
The report also shows that total nuclear weapons spending in the last five years was more than $387 billion, more than what the World Food Programme estimates it would take to end world hunger.
Of that, companies got about 30% of all spending, and turned around to hire at least 450 lobbyists as well as provide financing for major think tanks to influence the nuclear debate.
There are a billion other things this money can go to- and it’s why we’re doing the 16-22 September Week of Action. We’re going to have a call- (two calls, one early, one late) on 20 June to talk about the Week and hear from partners about the ways they’re organising to say No Money for Nuclear Weapons. Will you join us? (RSVP here https://www.icanw.org/inspiration_and_brainstorm_online_session)
Best wishes, Susi & Alicia
