On 27 of July, as this issue was being finalized, there was limited media coverage of the 70 anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. While recognizing that the Armistice Agreement had prevented further bloodshed, the UN Secretary General stated that ‘the threat of escalation is growing’ and what was needed included ‘complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula’ (United Nations 2023). The Korean War is often referred to as the ‘forgotten war’ but is anything but by those who fought it. It involved an air campaign that obliterated, for example, 65–100% of seven of Korea’s major cities, and involved the use of 23,557 tons of napalm (Cummings 2011). As previous conflicts remain unresolved and new ones are alarmingly unpredictable the urgency to ensure nuclear weapons are never used and eventually eliminated is evident – as it has always been. However, it appears the leaders of nuclear armed states are still not listening. The chapter on world nuclear forces from the 2023 Yearbook, that the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has made free to download (SIPRI 2023), reports that while the number of nuclear warheads globally continues to decline this is mainly due to Russia and the United States continuing to dismantle retired warheads. Reductions in operational warheads appear to have stalled and their number is now rising. The United States and Russia are both replacing and modernizing their warheads and associated delivery systems. China’s stockpile is being modernized and expanded but expected to remain considerably smaller. The other six nuclear-armed states, while their stockpiles are smaller still, are all either developing or deploying new weapons systems or have said they intend to do so (SIPRI 2023). Two weeks before the 78 anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the film Oppenheimer was released on 21 July with generally positive reviews in the mainstream media. Criticism elsewhere centred around the lack of portrayal of the true horrors on the ground in Japan – at the time of writing the film is yet to be released in Japan – and the lack of inclusion of the health consequences of the Trinity test. Debates among scientists and their moral dilemmas portrayed in the film include Leo Szilard’s petition against the bombing signed by eminent scientist and physicists. Already in 1939 working on chain reactions Szilard is quoted as saying: ‘We turned the switch, saw the flashes, watched for ten minutes, then switched everything off and went home. That night I knew the world was headed for sorrow’ (Szilard 1939). MEDICINE, CONFLICT AND SURVIVAL 2023, VOL. 39, NO. 3, 195–198 https://doi.org/10.1080/13623699.2023.2247913

A child born in 2023 faces a far more unpredictable future than we have known for decades. Since the 1960s, the number of weather-related natural disasters has tripled (“Climate Change and Health” n.d.) and the past year saw the breaking of temperature records on every continent (“2022 Saw Record Temperatures in Europe and across the World | Copernicus” n.d.). Collectively, these changes threaten the health, environment and food security of billions of people. Despite the unequivocal body of evidence for accelerating climate change, fossil fuel production continues to expand, weakening our hold on global warming targets agreed to secure future planetary health. The degree of global anxiety for the health of the next generation is plain in the publication of guidance in 2019 on how to ‘ensure that the health of a child born today is not defined by a changing climate’ (Watts et al. 2019). The burden of climate change impacts will not be shared equally – of 250,000–400,000 predicted extra deaths from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress, 88% will be amongst children, and 99% in lowand middleincome countries (“Climate Change and Health” n.d.). Even amongst developed healthcare systems, climate change will act as a risk multiplier, strengthening intergenerational cycles of adversity by placing the most vulnerable populations at highest risk of climate-related health conditions. Without urgent and systemic intervention, existing health inequities will widen, with the potential to reverse the health and development gains of the last 50 years (“Human Development Report 2011Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All | United Nations Development Programme” n.d.).
