An open webinar was held on 3 October 2022 to discuss the Global guidance framework for the responsible use of the life sciences: Mitigating biorisks and governing dual-use research and how the framework can be applied by different stakeholders and in various settings.
On 13 September 2022, WHO launched its new Global guidance framework for the responsible use of the life sciences: Mitigating biorisks and governing dual-use research. This comprehensive guide has been two years in the making and has been a collaborative
effort involving hundreds of international stakeholders.
The Framework calls on leaders and other stakeholders to mitigate biorisks and safely govern dual-use research, which has a clear benefit but can be misused to harm humans, animals, agriculture and the environment. The Framework is a comprehensive guide designed for all stakeholders involved in the governance of biorisks, and it includes a 6-step approach to implementing biorisk management. It also contains a set of common values and principles, different tools and mechanisms, a series of checklists designed for various stakeholders as well as scenarios and case studies.
