The Nuclear Threat
Initiative (NTI)
About
The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with a
mission to strengthen global security by reducing the risk of use and preventing the
spread of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and to work to build the
trust, transparency, and security that are preconditions to the ultimate
fulfillment of the Non-Proliferation Treaty’s goals and ambitions.
The danger posed by nuclear and biological weapons looms as
potentially the most consequential issue facing our nation and the world.
For this reason, it has been, and continues to be, NTI’s focus. The
threat of nuclear terrorism, fueled by the spread of nuclear materials,
know-how and weapons, has brought us to a nuclear tipping point.
Meanwhile, the biological threat, in many ways, is more precarious and complex,
as it is inextricably tied to the vast, positive opportunities in
biotechnology.
We all face the very real possibility of the world’s most
deadly weapons falling into dangerous hands.
As an independent yet trusted partner, NTI has been able to
push the envelope of traditional thinking within global bureaucracies and
expert communities and stimulate new ways to address threats from weapons of
mass destruction.
One of NTI’s hallmarks is our operating model. Recognizing
that governments have most of the resources and authority in the large-scale
work of threat reduction, NTI emphasizes leverage. It’s not just what NTI
can do throughout the world. It’s what we can persuade others to
do. We use our voice to raise awareness and advocate solutions; undertake
direct action projects that demonstrate new ways to reduce threats; and foster
new thinking about these problems.
Examples of this model include our:
- Creation of the now-independent World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS), to promote best practices for nuclear materials security globally.
- Creation of a Middle East Consortium on Infectious Disease Surveillance, building unprecedented cooperation for biosecurity and health among the Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian public health authorities.
- Participation in securing weapons-usable materials at the Vinca Reactor in Belgrade, which led to the creation of the U.S. Government’s program to convert similar reactors around the globe.
- Support for Kazakhstan to secure and dispose of its legacy stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
- Establishment of an IAEA-administered international nuclear fuel bank, to create options for countries seeking the peaceful use of nuclear energy without creating proliferation threats.
In addition, NTI has a reputation for developing
communications initiatives that reach and persuade a range of audiences:
from officials around the globe to ordinary Americans concerned about the
future safety and security of their children. These initiatives include
producing two films, Nuclear Tipping Point and Last Best Chance.
Founders Ted Turner and former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn serve as co-chairs of the board of directors,
which includes prestigious international membership.
The organization’s activities are directed by Nunn and
President Joan Rohlfing and informed by the advisors to the board of directors,
who are leading figures in science, business, and international security.
Over the past ten years, NTI has received funding from
individual American philanthropists, including Warren Buffett, Fred Iseman,
Peter G.
Peterson, George Russell, and Ted Turner. We have also received
significant support from foundations such as the Carnegie Corporation of New York,
the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation,
The Rockefeller
Foundation, the Skoll Global Threats Fund and the Google
Foundation.
