متن کاملThe Challenge of Global Catastrophic Biological Risks
Global catastrophic biological risks (GCBRs) are defined by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security as biological events—deliberate, accidental, or emerging—that ‘‘could lead to sudden, extraordinary, widespread disaster.’’ There are a number of efforts to create a framework within which we can begin to address the almost incomprehensible consequences of these kinds of events. GCBRs compri...
متن کاملOn Defining Global Catastrophic Biological Risks
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security has formulated an encompassing working definition of global catastrophic biological risks (GCBRs) that reflects diverse sources of risk and mechanisms of damage. We draw on their definition to highlight some important considerations for understanding and addressing GCBRs. A foundational challenge in defining GCBRs as a subcategory of global catastrop...
