This is a time of many challenges and this edition of CND's magazine looks at the issues we face.

In a move that no-one expected, the UK has announced it will increase the number of nuclear weapons it has by 40% - the first time the numbers will go up since the Cold War.

While Joe Biden has succeeded in renewing a crucial nuclear arms control agreement with Russia, his Presidency is making less progress ensuring the future of the nuclear deal with Iran.

The Doomsday Clock -  which is set every year by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists – is an indicator of the existential crises facing the world. It's just been announced that the 'time' remains 100 seconds to midnight, the latest ever. In this month's Campaign magazine we look at what this actually means and how the situation can improve. We also have excellent news to share about the launch of a Peace Academy in Wales. 

On January 22nd, a new United Nations treaty will enter into force, one which will make nuclear weapons illegal in the countries that sign it.
