New series alert 🚨Tactic Tuesday!
The first Tuesday of every month, we’ll revisit key disinformation tactics to keep them top of mind and easy to spot. Hint: These tactics are often found in pro-Kremlin media and may help indicate it is #disinfo. Today: Reference to Past Crises
Building resilience against CBRN disinformation requires sustained cooperation. The #GPWMD values Germany’s active engagement and support for the
@gp-wmdctrdisinfo.bsky.social initiative 🤝

The evaluation also identified challenges, including uneven engagement, limited continuity, no current driving WMD threat to unite members, and an image tied too closely to the West.
Key findings:
✔️ The GP plays a decisive role in reducing global #CBRN risks
✔️ It remains the best placed mechanism for coordinated #WMD threat reduction
✔️ Strengths include its #G7 link, strong coordination, and long-term project delivery
The evaluation explored how the #GPWMD works in practice. It looked at information sharing, priority setting, coordination, project delivery and partner engagement. It also reviewed past programming to assess overall effectiveness and impact.
Since 2002, the Global Partnership has helped reduce some of the world’s most critical and urgent CBRN threats. A new independent evaluation by @chathamhouse.org takes a close look at the role of the #GPWMD in today’s evolving security landscape.

The GP’s new initiative, #IMPACT_WMD, connects GP members, technologists, industry, & global partners to tackle the opportunities & risks of WMD-Relevant Tech.
Check out the new webpage to learn more and stay up to date on the initiative’s progress:

WMD Threats are evolving & so are #GPWMD responses. WMD Relevant Technologies such as AI, drones, synthetic biology, & gene editing have the potential both to accelerate & exacerbate #WMD threats – but also offer threat reduction & non-proliferation solutions.
On February 14th, five GP members - the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and The Netherlands - issued a press release stating that Russian journalist and opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in a Russian prison in 2024, was poisoned with the toxin epibatidine.
The progress made this week has set clear paths for action under the French GP Presidency, reinforcing the #GPWMD as a leading international WMD threat reduction mechanism.
#GPWG participants spent the week:
✅ Assessing current #WMD threats, with attention to developments in Ukraine & Syria
✅ Strengthening work on new & existing GP initiatives, including areas linked to WMD-relevant tech
✅ Matchmaking implementing partners with donors
📍 This week, #GPWMD members and partners gathered in Paris for the first Global Partnership Working Group (#GPWG) meeting of 2026 under France’s #G7 presidency.
It was a great few days at the @gpwmd.bsky.social working group meetings this week under the French presidency. GP members continue to face #CBRN disinformation which impacts their important work on disarmament and nonproliferation.
Speaking on global trends in biology and what they mean for our security at the G7 @gpwmd.bsky.social meeting in Paris this week
