This draft report provides a general overview of the current biological threat landscape, since the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic revealed vulnerabilities on a global scale to biological threats, including biological attacks.
This document reflects on the opportunities offered by biotechnology and other Emerging and Disruptive Technologies (EDTs), as well as the main challenges posed by BWAs (Biological Warfare Agents).
