Tabletop exercises #TTX are a great way to strengthen capacity around countering #CBRN #disinformation 💪 Our team, alongside @UNICRI @OSCE, supported an engaging exercise in Chișinău, Moldova with officials and experts from Moldova and Ukraine. Learn more: unicri.org/news/Moldova...

Ahead of the Ninth Session of the #1972BWC Working Group taking place next month, the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter Disinfo Initiative has developed a primer highlighting narratives, tactics, and trends to watch for - including insights from our latest reports: gpwmdcounterdisinfo.com/bwc-briefing...

BWC Briefing Note: August 2026

Left unchallenged, false narratives can erode trust between States Parties, weaken confidence in transparency and cooperation measures, and complicate efforts to strengthen the Biological Weapons Conv...

The @gpwmd.bsky.social Countering WMD Disinformation Initiative reaffirms unwavering support for Ukraine. We proudly support transparent, evidence-based communication, and the responsible use of international mechanisms. Read our latest memo here: bit.ly/44ZMLpP

As Ebola spreads in the DRC and Uganda, familiar disinformation narratives are reappearing. Our new brief, "Ebola Disinformation Narratives: A new outbreak - the same old story,” shows how these tactics are recycled from past outbreaks. bit.ly/4wk8SmA

Last month, the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter WMD Disinfo Initiative, led by implementer @OpenNuclear, carried out activities during the 2026 NPT Review Conference focused on strengthening resilience against radiological & nuclear disinfo in multilateral diplomacy

With #GHS2026 coming to a close, we're reflecting on a week of insightful discussions. Here are a few photos from our panel, "How to Counter Disinformation Related to CBRN Threats," where our experts explored practical approaches to strengthening resilience against CBRN disinfo.

Tomorrow at #GHS2026, we launch The Matryoshka War. The report maps how “biolab” narratives move across Africa, SE Asia & Latin America — turning #HealthSecurity infrastructure into geopolitical targets. Join us: 9:15am in 410.

#GHS2026 starts this week and the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter Disinfo Initiative will be on the ground in Kuala Lumpur. Be sure to say hello at both our poster presentation (Wednesday) and our panel on Thursday at 9:15am in Room 410. We look forward to seeing you there!

As the devastating Ebola outbreak continues to grow in DRC and Uganda, we have begun to see #false #narratives in Russian news media suggesting that the outbreak could be a form of biological warfare waged by actors in the US, including pharmaceutical companies.

As the #NPTRevCon enters week 2, recycled disinfo narratives are resurfacing in Rights of Reply: – Allegations of nuclear rearmament – Claims about attacks on ZNPP – “Dirty bomb” accusations. These have been debunked before here: gpwmdcounterdisinfo.com/tag/technica...

At the #NPTRevCon NGO session (1 May), implementing partner @OpenNuclear delivered a statement on RN disinformation. It highlighted how false or unverified allegations can shape positions before technical clarification, distort discussions and increase polarisation.

Reminder! Our side event at #NPTRevCon #NPT is happening tomorrow. Come join us for a discussion on radiological and nuclear #disinformation. See you there!

It’s Tactic Tuesday! The first Tuesday of every month, we 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: Use of Misleading “Evidence”

In nuclear crises, disinformation can shape risk perception and decisions before facts are verified. Our latest discussion on The Nuclear Table podcast highlights a key gap: RN disinformation is still not treated as an operational risk in nuclear governance. Links below.

The @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter Disinfo Initiative is at the NPT Review Conference in NYC to support delegations in recognising and responding to radiological and nuclear disinformation. #NPTRevCon2026 #NPT

Disinformation isn’t a game. But gamification can help delegations better understand, identify and debunk disinfo narratives. That’s why we have prepared a tactic tracker and matching exercise for attendees of the 2026 NPT RevCon to use this week. Here: gpwmdcounterdisinfo.com/wp-content/u...

Publication alert! Our new primer aims to help 2026 #NPTRevCon #delegations better understand #radiological and #nuclear #disinformation narratives and tactics they might encounter. Learn more here: gpwmdcounterdisinfo.com/wp-content/u...

All eyes are on the upcoming 2026 Review Conference (RevCon) for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Nuclear risks are rising, and the last NPT conferences could not agree on an outcome. So what is the RevCon and why does it matter? 🧵

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

Russia has again made unsupported claims that Ukraine is seeking nuclear weapons. In late February, Moscow alleged that the United Kingdom and France are considering assisting Kyiv in acquiring either a radiological dispersal device (dirty bomb) or nuclear weapons.

New analysis from the @gpwmd.bsky.social Counter WMD Disinformation Initiative examines and debunks false CBRN weapons allegations circulated by Russian officials. @centerforhealthsecurity.org @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social @OpenNuclear

We're happy to share one of our latest tools to build resilience to WMD disinfo: The Radiological/Nuclear Weapons Disinformation Roadmap gpwmdcounterdisinfo.com/policy-brief...

Roadmap of a Radiological/Nuclear Disinformation Campaign

What does this commonly used tactic look like in official documents and statements?

New Publication Alert! In the Feb edition of @CBRNeWorld, our @gpwmd.bsky.social Initiative partner @opennuclear, explores what cross-sectoral insights on #CBRN disinfo mean for emergency preparedness & response. cbrneworld.com/magazine/lat...

Earlier this month, our @gpwmd.bsky.social Initiative partner to #counterdisinfo, @opennuclear contributed to @bsw_in_nuclear Workshop “Regional Perspectives on Non-Proliferation, Radiological and Nuclear Security” with cross-sectoral insights on #radiological and #nuclear disinfo

Last week, one of our partners @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social provided a training session on information integrity to #1972BWC National Focal Points. We were happy to hear so many of the attendees found the exercise useful and our thanks to @ungeneva.bsky.social for organizing!

A privilege to be working with the European Union and @gpwmd.bsky.social @gp-wmdctrdisinfo.bsky.social to bring a training session on #InformationIntegrity and #FIMI to new #1972BWC National Contact Points

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.

📍 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.

The Global Partnership welcomes France as the #G7 GP President for 2026. France assumes the role at a defining moment for international security, where evolving #CBRN threats require collective vigilance & cooperation.

As the @gpwmd.bsky.social meetings begin in France, we’ll be on the ground engaging diplomats and helping build skills to recognize and counter disinformation. We look forward to seeing you there!
