Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the approach to nuclear energyand prospects for development in the countries that are members of the ThreeSeas Initiative. The author presents an analysis of the demographic and eco-nomic potential of the region in the context of a convergent history, con-ditioning the current infrastructural deficiencies compared to Western andNorthern Europe. The paper employs a comparative analysis of the energypolicies of the Initiative countries, concluding that the solution to the decar-bonisation of the region is the development of nuclear energy potential andcooperation – due to its emission-free nature and guarantee of stable electric-ity production, together with the development of renewable energy sources.Such solutions guarantee significant progress towards decarbonisation andthe achievement of international and EU climate targets, while ensuring en-ergy security. The energy policy analysis is contextualised in the conditionsof the new security architecture in Europe related to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
