GP WMD Counter Disinfo

(4/4) The Initiative will continue to provide analysis and tools to counter these narratives. Sustained collaboration and vigilance are essential to build resilience against RN #disinformation at future #IAEAGC gatherings and across CBRN multilateral fora.

(3/4) We welcomed Austria and Spain’s recognition of the urgent need to address #disinformation and #misinformation in their statements. Yet despite this progress, such narratives remained prevalent throughout the #IAEAGC.

(1/4) Last week in Vienna, Initiative partner Open Nuclear Network had the honour of participating in the 69th @iaeaorg.bsky.social General Conference. The ONN team engaged with all 31 GP countries and shared resources on countering #disinformation narratives that could target the IAEA.

(3/3) This research also showed evidence that efforts to refute or debunk false narratives can mitigate the harmful impact of disinformation. However, it is only somewhat effective and should be used as part of a multipronged approach with prebunking measures.

(2/3) Findings from this project suggest that disinformation can change the way state actors think about pursing BW programmes, which shows how harmful this threat is to cooperative threat reduction activities and international security.

(1/3) New publication alert! Our @gpwmd.bsky.social Initiative to #Counter #Disinformation has released its latest product, which highlights a long term research project that sought to better understand the potential impact of #BW disinformation on state-level decision making.

(3/4) A warm thanks to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine for hosting an event where the team briefed Ukrainian ambassadors in key capitals around the world on CBRN disinformation.

(2/4) The team visited more public health laboratories which have been the target of malign state-administered disinformation and continued our NextGen training, engaging with over 200 students on how to tackle biological disinformation including fake disease outbreaks

(1/4) Last week @gpwmd.bsky.social Initiative to #Counter #CBRN #Disinfo team members from @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social were in Ukraine conducting fieldwork and engaging with the health security practitioner community to strengthen systems to counter biological disinformation.

(3/3) If you are attending the conference, come join us on Tuesday at 15:00 in Auditorium ODEN, we look forward to seeing you there!

(2/3) Team members from @centerforhealthsecurity.org, @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social, and Open Nuclear Network will present our research and provide insights into identifying effective strategies for detecting and combating disinformation.

(1/3) At the end of the month, the ‪@gp-wmdctrdisinfo.bsky.social‬ team will be attending the Swedish Defence Research Agency’s 15th CBRNe Protection Symposium in Malmö where they will be hosting the Disinformation panel: www.cbrnesymposium.se/speakers/

(3/4) Throughout the meeting some of these common false claims have been spread, including alleged violations of the convention and "military biological activities".

(2/4) Before the start of the BWC Working Group meetings this summer, we circulated a countering BW disinfo primer that highlighted several false claims and tactics that are typically spread in this forum: gpwmdcounterdisinfo.com/building-res...

(1/4) The second week of the Sixth session of the BWC Working Group is underway. As we have reported before, during multilateral meetings like the #1972BWC, we often see spikes of specific #WMD #disinformation narratives.

For those in Geneva this week, Initiative team members will be speaking at an EU-hosted side event today at 13:15 in Room XXV. We invite you to join us to hear more about regional trends in disinformation narratives and insights from our regional outreach training workshops.
