Sustainability & Environmental Governance

The Sustainability & Environmental Governance Initiative examines the relationship between environmental stewardship, institutional accountability, and long-term development stability.

The initiative focuses on environmental harm, natural resource governance, climate-related risks, and the long-term impacts of nuclear weapons testing and contamination. GMC evaluates these issues through evidence-based research and analysis grounded in international legal and environmental standards.

Overview

Nuclear Legacy & Environmental Harm

A key area of focus includes the long-term environmental and public health consequences of nuclear weapons testing.

GMC conducts research on contamination impacts, remediation efforts, regulatory compliance, and international accountability mechanisms related to nuclear legacy sites. This includes examining the intergenerational effects of radioactive exposure and governance responses in affected regions.

The initiative assesses policy frameworks related to denuclearization, environmental restoration, and reparative mechanisms within established international legal standards.
