Main Forms of Interaction between the Key Actors in CBRN Protection: What Way Forward?

This chapter provides an overview of the role and the main forms of interaction between the relevant actors involved in the governance of CBRN risks at the international, regional and domestic level. The first section gives an overview of the actors whose aim is to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impact of CBRN events, ie international and regional organisations, States, non-State actors such as business actors, non-governmental organisations, local communities, academia and media. In the second section, the main forms of interaction between the different actors are examined while proposals for the creation of more effective forms of interaction between the different actors involved in CBRN protection are given in the concluding remarks.
