Report: Envisioning Future Pathways for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

In October 2025, the EVN launched a new policy cycle with the aim of gathering the expertise of emerging experts on what the future could hold for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). We believe it is critical that early-career practitioners play a role in shaping the future of the NPT, as well as the present. This policy cycle gave participants the chance to offer their expertise and perspectives on what future pathways could lie ahead for the NPT.

This policy cycle was organised using a workshop-based format to consider future pathways for the NPT, utilising foresight methodologies. Four focus groups each imagined a favourable and an unfavourable future scenario for the treaty. These were then used to inform a set of policy recommendations.

“BASIC’s depth of knowledge and administrative competence makes it an excellent partner in the field of military nuclear capability and arms control”

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, GCMG British diplomat

“At a time when transatlantic relationships are under tension, BASIC's role as a source of authoritative analysis is more important than ever.”

Baron Rees of Ludlow Astronomer Royal

“BASIC makes a vital contribution to sustaining recognition that nearly 35 years after the end of the Cold War nuclear weapons continue to put at risk the future of humankind. BASIC is especially to be commended for doing this by fostering dialogue and understanding.”

Peter Jenkins CMG UK Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency 2001-06

``For about 35 years, in the pursuit of nuclear disarmament, BASIC have championed the cause of mutuality of security. Their ability to engage diversity of views and opinion has attracted deserved admiration.``

Baron Browne of Ladyton Vice Chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative and former UK Secretary of State for Defence

``For more than three decades, BASIC has challenged conventional thinking on national security matters, and inspired new ways of addressing and solving old problems. I expect it to continue to play this vital role for decades to come.``

Andreas Persbo Director, Open Nuclear Network
