A turning point has been reached in the fight against Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) risks and threats worldwide. This was highlighted during the Annual meeting of the European Union CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (EU CBRN CoE) that took place from 12 to 14 June in La Hulpe (Belgium).
Within the framework of the EU CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CoE) Initiative, UNICRI is responsible for the overall administration and monitoring of the implementation of the first 19 CBRN CoE projects. These projects focus on the provision of training and equipment, knowledge development, special and technical support and awareness-raising through interested partner countries, at national, regional and international level.
To ensure that all disciplines and organizations concerned with CBRN risk mitigation act as an integrated unit, UNICRI recommends a CBRN national team to be established. UNICRI has developed CBRN Security Governance indicators and associated metrics for the team that can show national leaders the state of CBRN Governance and whether it is operating effectively. The metrics may, however, also reflect certain variations, as each country has a unique legal and political structure with unique CBRN organizations and unique security challenges.
