Building on those early successes, #GPWMD has expanded globally – evolving to meet emerging threats & delivering cooperative threat reduction projects thanks to the contributions of its members & partners.

More than two decades later, #GPWMD remains the leading international #WMD threat reduction mechanism – delivering tangible results through cooperative projects to prevent, detect, & respond to CBRN proliferation & terrorism 🌐
Today marks 23 years since the launch of the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons & Materials of Mass Destruction #GPWMD at the 2002 G8 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada.
The #G7's return to Kananaskis this year is a chance to reflect on how far we've come. #GP23
