Nuclear NATO: how to make it credible and efficient

NDC Outlook 01-2025: Nuclear NATO: how to make it credible and efficient,, by Karl-Heinz Kamp¹

Summary

• NATO’s nuclear deterrence is not sufficiently prepared for the evolving strategic environment in Europe and beyond.
• The current Strategic Concept does not define which steps are needed to maintain nuclear deterrence’s effectiveness and credibility.
• To adapt nuclear deterrence to today’s requirements, NATO must first and foremost agree on a new nuclear strategy document
