Averting Armageddon: Reducing the Risks of Inadvertent Escalation of Nuclear War
About
Updated 05/18/26The Averting Armageddon project, based in Carnegie’s Nuclear Policy Program, combines analysis of nuclear strategy, escalation dynamics, and crisis decision‑making with policy outreach to identify concrete steps that nuclear‑armed states and allies can take to lower the risk that regional conflicts or limited nuclear strikes escalate into large‑scale nuclear war.
Theory of Change
By rigorously analyzing pathways to inadvertent nuclear escalation and engaging decisionmakers on practical de‑escalation measures, the Averting Armageddon project aims to change nuclear planning, crisis management practices, and diplomatic arrangements so that the probability of regional conflicts escalating into large‑scale nuclear war is substantially reduced.
