About the CYG

The CTBTO Youth Group (CYG) is a dynamic global community of more than 1,900 young advocates, researchers, students, and professionals united by a common goal: advancing the universalization and entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and contributing to a world free of nuclear testing. 

From students and researchers to young professionals, diplomats, and activists, CYG members represent all regions of the world: 

• Central Asia  
• East Asia and the Pacific  
• Eastern Europe  
• Latin America and the Caribbean  
• Middle East and North Africa  
• South Asia  
• Sub-Saharan Africa  
• Western Europe and North America  

Together, we are building a truly global, inclusive, and youth-driven movement for disarmament, non-proliferation, and lasting international peace and security.
