Inside the Arms Control Association

This year at ACA’s annual meeting, we will delve into some of the most pressing arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament challenges facing the nation and the world today.

ACA is working hard to explain that increasing the number of U.S. nuclear weapons or adding new types of nuclear weapons would not effectively address threats from Russia, China or elsewhere, but rather would further fuel the dangerous action-reaction cycle that is already underway.

As Russia continues to rebuff the U.S. offer for talks on a post-New START arms control framework, we welcome a new nuclear weapons senior policy analyst to the team and begin planning for our 2024 annual members meeting. 

We kick off 2024 with a number of "save the date" announcements and opportunities for engagement as we continue to support efforts at renewing a dialogue with Russia on a new nuclear arms control framework and a separate nuclear risk reduction dialogue with China.

Through the challenges of the past year, we have persisted and made some headway that may provide openings for more dramatic progress in the years ahead.
