The Global Partnership is a group of members that have each committed to contribute its talents, expertise, resources, networks, and influence to deliver tangible WMD threat reduction programing.
Members of the Global Partnership coordinate and collaborate on an ongoing basis to develop and deliver projects and programs to mitigate all manner of threats posed by chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) weapons and related materials. Under the leadership of the rotational G7 Presidency, GP members and implementing partners convene twice annually as the Global Partnership Working Group (GPWG) to review progress, assess the threat landscape and discuss where and how GP partners can meaningfully engage to prevent terrorists and states of proliferation concern from acquiring and using weapons of mass destruction.
This includes integrating common threat identification and assessment, based on information sharing among GP members and partners, into the establishment of priority areas of work and the formulation of project proposals.
The GPWG includes 4 sub-working groups, which facilitate regular dialogue and programming coordination between experts on the GP’s thematic priorities:
GP partners support a diverse range of CBRN threat reduction activities in dozens of countries and every region of the world. A detailed breakdown is provided in the GP's annual Programming Annex.
A members-only, secure-access web portal allows GP members to share sensitive information, find valuable resources, and continue dialogues outside of specific meetings on issues that are important to their governments.

The proliferation and use, and threat of use, of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) constitute one of the gravest threats to international peace and security. Furthermore, false and misleading information around WMDs is a severe threat.
Global Partnership members have each committed to contribute their talents, expertise, resources, networks, and influence to deliver tangible WMD threat reduction programing.
The Global Partnership follows a set of Principles and Guidelines that were established at the 2002 Kananaskis Summit and updated under Canada's Presidency in 2025.
