New Publication: Hiroshima Report 2026
In March 2026, the Hiroshima Organization for Global Peace (HOPe) published the Hiroshima Report 2026 Edition.
Hiroshima Prefecture and the Hiroshima Organization for Global Peace (HOPe) has been implementing the Hiroshima Report Publication Project since FY2012 as one of the initiatives to materialize the Hiroshima for Global Peace Plan. This project aims to stimulate discussions on nuclear weapons issues among policymakers, experts, and civil society and to support various efforts toward a world free of nuclear weapons.
Under this initiative, Hiroshima Prefecture has commissioned the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) to investigate and analyze the current status of nuclear disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation, and nuclear security in various countries. The findings are compiled and published annually as the Hiroshima Report.
This report will be disseminated both domestically and internationally to widely present the efforts of various countries regarding nuclear weapons issues. Through this, HOPe aims to foster momentum in the international community to steadily advance the process of nuclear abolition.

We stand at a perilous moment for humanity, in which leaders are failing to show the bold leadership that is needed to tackle the existential threats we face. The Hiroshima Report is an important resource for reminding us of the ever-present danger nuclear weapons pose to humanity, and of the steps that are needed to change course and move us towards a safer future.
Helen Clark: Former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Former Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme
80 years on from the atomic bombing, Hiroshima continues to serve as a powerful reminder of the horrors of nuclear weapons, and a beacon of hope for promoting global peace and disarmament. I was honoured to visit in May 2025, and welcome this year’s Hiroshima Report. It clearly sets out the growing existential risk posed by nuclear weapons, and the need for urgent global action to reinvigorate progress towards disarmament.
