Chemical Weapons Threats and Responses: A CSR Fireside Chat

On November 13, 2023, the Council on Strategic Risks hosted a Fireside Chat with key leaders from the Department of Defense, Department of State, and the National Security Council to discuss Chemical Weapons Threats and Responses. The discussion provided an opportunity to applaud the thousands of people who worked to destroy the remnants of U.S. chemical munitions, and discuss how best to strengthen the Chemical Weapons Convention, including preventing the reemergence of chemical weapons programs; preventing non-state actors from acquiring dangerous chemicals; ensuring information integrity; and addressing the host of challenges presented by technological advances.
