The World CBRN and Medical Congress 2021 would like to follow up on the previous successful editions. As of today, we are facing evolving threats from both state and non-state actors that include a range of complex challenges, including hybrid warfare, terrorism, cyber-attacks, migration, highly contagious disease, and a wide range of events involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD), chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and health threats.
Effective responses to CBRN crisis events often require the initiation of a response before the origin or full extent of the event is understood, which requires familiarity with various aspects of diverse scenarios that can only be achieved through advanced consideration. Advance planning together with the flexibility for a wide range of future CBRN response efforts.
