DESCRIPTION

The Nuclear Strategy and Policy and CBRN Cell (NSPC) acts on behalf of Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) to formulate policies, strategies, engagements, ACT contributions to NATO s CBRN Defence mission.

NATO s security environment with regards to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats has grown more complex and more challenging. The potential use of CBRN materials or weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by state and non-state actors is a fundamental threat to our security. The norms and institutions related to the proliferation or use of WMD have been challenged by the use of CBRN materials in conflict and as tools of assassination, which have been condemned in the strongest possible terms. Moreover, emerging and disruptive technologies pose critical new challenges to our shared security in the CBRN realm, even as they open up new opportunities to maintain NATO s technical edge.

Recognising these changes in the security environment, the North Atlantic Council in June 2022 agreed NATO s CBRN Policy. The policy guides NATO s adaptation to address the significantly changed CBRN threat from Russia, non-state actors, and other states, the challenges to arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation regimes, as well as the risks and opportunities posed by emerging and disruptive technologies. It commits NATO to integrating our approach to CBRN threats and risks with our deterrence and defence posture, notably the Concept for Deterrence and Defence of the Euro-Atlantic Area, and the NATO Warfighting Capstone Concept as well as the strengthened resilience commitment and policies to address cyber and the hybrid threats.
