A First Wave Case Series: RISE 3D (RISE3D, #1) / RISE3D (ePub)

The Clean Energy Ministerial's CEM "Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future" (NICE Future) initiative envisions a world in which nuclear energy innovation and uses advance clean energy goals. The NICE Future initiative recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to energy and fosters collaboration among clean energy supporters in exploring diverse solutions, including nuclear energy technology solutions, for clean and integrated systems of the future.

Under NICE Future initiative, Research Impacts on Social Equity and Economic Empowerment (RISE3) campaign is building a first-ever partnership amongst governments and the nuclear energy, renewables, nonprofit and academic communities to accelerate the adoption of environmentally just clean energy solutions. Leveraging the insights and expertise of more than thirty participant countries and partner organizations, RISE3 aims to highlight breakthrough solutions that can accelerate movement toward net-zero. RISE3 convenes expert resources, supporting analyses to inform investment decisions and creating a blueprint for countries transitioning to a clean and just energy economy with nuclear innovation as a key pillar.

The RISE3D case series e-publication has been developed from submissions by participating countries and partner organizations, demonstrating how advanced and innovative nuclear energy technologies, such as small modular reactors, will support the clean energy transition in a variety of community contexts.
