This book explores how fusion energy, as a virtually inexhaustible and climate-friendly power source, could play a decisive role in addressing the climate crisis – while also posing security risks. Readers gain insights into the legal framework of international law, in particular the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The study highlights existing gaps in the nuclear weapons regime regarding fusion, examines possible approaches to closing them, and develops the idea of a dedicated fusion treaty. The book is aimed at researchers, students, and practitioners in international law and global security policy.
