Biosafety and Biosecurity in Asia and the Pacific

Header

WOAH will host a webinar on “Biosafety and Biosecurity in Asia and the Pacific: Emerging Issues & Regional Priorities”.

Biological threats—whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate—continue to evolve in complexity, driven by increased human–animal–environment interfaces, global connectivity and rapid technological advances. Veterinary Services and animal health systems play a critical frontline role in detecting, preventing and responding to these risks, particularly at the health–security interface.

This regional webinar will provide an introductory and dialogue-oriented forum on biosafety and biosecurity in Asia and the Pacific. It will highlight regional perspectives, promote cross-sectoral understanding and align discussions with global frameworks. The webinar will also include an interactive online survey to capture high-level regional priorities and gaps, with aggregated findings intended to inform regional follow-up and contribute to global discussions.
