Climate justice and dignified abundance, powered by nuclear.

Our Vision

We envision a world where climate justice works for those told to accept austerity. Nuclear fission is the backbone of society, delivering zero-carbon energy 24/7, keeping electricity affordable and driving industry, while cleaning the air and sparing nature from the vast land demands of other energy sources.

This is how we strengthen national security and unlock shared prosperity without destroying the planet.

Nuclear Realism

Debunking the myths, revealing the facts

Climate Justice

Protecting the vulnerable, exposing the delayers

Shared Abundance

Expanding opportunity, ensuring prosperity

Our Mission

Earthrise Accord puts science and justice at the core. We press for policy to preserve and expand nuclear power. We support nations in their quest for sovereignty, safety and resilience.

We replace fantasy with facts, rejecting false solutions that lock nations into fossil dependence or renewables-only dogma. We stand up against prescriptions for energy poverty, masquerading as climate measures.

We investigate, report and uncover – driving a public reckoning with industry lobby groups as well as legacy environmental groups whose false claims have undermined the transition and killed millions.

Because progress is rooted in physics and fairness, we partner with workers, communities and the Global South to help enable dignified abundance for all.

Our Story

In 1968, my father, William “Bill” Anders, was orbiting the Moon aboard Apollo 8 when he pointed his camera back toward home. That’s how he captured what would become one of the most iconic images in history: Earthrise.

It was the first colour photograph to show our planet, glowing with oceans and clouds, rising above the lifeless lunar horizon. It gave us a new perspective on Earth – whole, delicate, shared. That image inspired the environmental movement. It awakened a new sense of global awareness and contributed to launching Earth Day.

Earthrise by Bill Anders, Apollo 8, 1968

My father’s legacy extends beyond that moment. He was a nuclear engineer who served as the first chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and led both General Electric Nuclear and General Dynamics’ Electric Boat, the leading producer of nuclear submarines. Long before it became fashionable to say so, he believed that human flourishing and national security require fission.

In 2024, he died in a plane crash, still flying at the age of 90. After his passing, I stepped away from a long career as a psychoanalyst and academic to found Earthrise Accord. It’s my attempt to carry forward what Dad stood for: a deep, unflinching realism about clean energy, inspired by a reverence for the planet we all share.

The word Accord – a nod to the Paris Climate Accords – reflects our belief in global cooperation: across nations, sectors, and ideologies, in the service of everyone, especially those most vulnerable. Like my father’s photograph from space, Earthrise Accord reminds us what’s at stake – and what we share.
