All eyes are on the upcoming 2026 Review Conference (RevCon) for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Nuclear risks are rising, and the last NPT conferences could not agree on an outcome. So what is the RevCon and why does it matter? 🧵

Disinformation distorts risk perception and erodes trust, complicating negotiations. In the NPT context, this impacts nuclear risks. As the 2026 RevCon approaches, the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter Disinfo Initiative will support delegations with tools and insights to counter disinfo. Stay tuned!
