Dear Friend,

As we approach the end of 2025, I always like to take a few minutes and look back at what we’ve been able to do with your support. 

Here’s what you helped make happen:

A global majority of countries are on board the ban
We crossed the threshold this year, and now 99 countries have signed, ratified, or acceded to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). That is a clear global majority saying clearly: we won’t stand for any nuclear threats.

We’re changing the conversation
We tracked more than 17,000 media references to the Nuclear Ban Treaty this year, 20% more than two years ago. Over and over, the message broke through: nuclear deterrence is not security, it is a threat to the whole world.

New champions joined the effort
In 2025 alone, 57 new parliamentarians from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and the United Kingdom joined thousands of lawmakers across 27 countries working to get their governments to join the Nuclear Ban Treaty. This is how we’re moving public support from the streets to the law.

Cities are leading where governments are not (yet)
ICAN’s partners have brought another 86 Cities from 12 countries on board the ICAN Cities Appeal in 2025 including Perth, Marseille, and Athens. In 10 countries, cities representing more than 20% of the national population have called on their governments to join the Nuclear Ban Treaty. Mayors and city councils know this is a way to protect the people who live there. 

A stronger, broader movement
We now have partners in 113 countries, with new organisations joining the campaign from Azerbaijan, Brazil, Germany, Pakistan, Portugal, South Korea, Switzerland, Uganda, United Kingdom and the United States. Our movement keeps growing, diversifying, and demanding nuclear abolition now. 

None of this happened by accident, it happened because people like you choose to believe that a world without nuclear weapons is possible, and you’re willing to help us get there. 

Thank you for all of your support, 

Susi Snyder, 
Director of Programmes
