Youth Fusion - Abolition 2000 Youth Network

What Youth Fusion - Abolition 2000 Youth Network does

Youth Fusion is a Prague-based, globally operating nonprofit network and a working group of the Abolition 2000 civil society coalition, founded in May 2017 and rebranded to its current name in December 2020. The organization functions as a worldwide networking platform for individuals aged 35 and under and partner organizations active in nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation, and risk reduction, linking these issues with peace, climate action, sustainable development, and human rights. Its mission is to inform, educate, connect, and engage youth in nuclear abolition advocacy through intergenerational dialogue.

The organization delivers its impact through a portfolio of programs rather than a single product. Core offerings include the Youth Hotline Campaign (a Russia-US youth disarmament dialogue program launched in 2023 with a second edition in 2025), the Nuclear Stories educational platform developed with Swiss studio Docmine, multiple podcast series (Youth Fusion Podcast, Peace Out, Experts, and the Nuclear Fireside Chats initiated by an intern), the #StepUp4Disarmament campaign co-run with UNODA and CTBTO, the Youth Fusion Elders intergenerational program, a monthly newsletter, and a multilingual youth speakers database. Technical infrastructure is a website hub (youth-fusion.org) supplemented by social channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, with no proprietary software or AI components.

Youth Fusion's business model is nonprofit and freemium. Individual youth membership is free with no commitment; organizational partnerships are non-transactional and based on co-creation of events and campaigns. The core team consists of approximately four to six staff and volunteers, and the organization has historically been supported through grants, partner contributions, and in-kind collaboration with anchor institutions such as Basel Peace Office, PNND, and UNODA's #Youth4Disarmament initiative. Following a December 2023 suspension, the organization relaunched in 2025 with a renewed core team.

• ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons): Nobel Peace Prize-winning international campaign coalition working to abolish nuclear weapons through the TPNW. Directly comparable as a global civil society network driving youth and civil society engagement in nuclear disarmament, with overlapping partner organizations (Youth4TPNW, PNND).

• PNND (Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament): Global network of legislators working on nuclear disarmament. Several Youth Fusion core team members hold roles at PNND, and the organizations share close programmatic ties around intergenerational dialogue and youth engagement in disarmament policy.
