Second highest priority
Nuclear weapons have the potential to kill hundreds of millions of people directly, and billions due to subsequent effects on agriculture. There are many historical examples of when the US or Russia came close to deliberately or accidentally firing their missiles.
This area is already of great interest to governments and international organizations, making it more difficult to influence the situation compared to how it would be anyway. The main opportunities seem to be within the military, foreign policy organizations or in think tanks that contribute ideas on how we can reduce the risk of nuclear conflicts. Examples of unconventional approaches include working independently to improve relations between key people in the nuclear powers or increasing the resilience of our food supply (to better weather a nuclear winter).
