With the profound changes in the international security situation, the progression of globalization, and the continuous advancement of biotechnology, the risks and challenges posed by major infectious diseases and bioterrorism to the international community are also increasing. Biosafety, therefore, presents new opportunities for international cooperation and global governance. The world has become more integrated and now shares a common destiny in terms of biosafety. In the face of the current risks and challenges, the international community must work together to avert threats, advance mutual interests, and safeguard global biosecurity. In the context of the current situation regarding biosafety and biosecurity, we conducted the present analysis, and present here some appropriate
In a broad sense, biosafety, and biosecurity (hereafter collectively referred to as “biosafety”) refer to a nation’s ability to respond effectively to biological threats and related factors. This requires a nation to maintain and protect its own safety and interests. Such requirements include the prevention and control of major emerging infectious diseases, defensive action against biological weapon attacks, the prevention of bioterrorism attacks, the prevention of biotechnology abuse, the protection of laboratory biosafety, the protection of special biological resources, and the prevention of invasion by alien organisms.
The necessity for biosafety is greater than that at any other time in history, spatiotemporal factors are broader than ever before, and internal and external factors are more complicated than those seen in the past. In the present article, we have discussed the key aspects of biosafety technology, the risks and challenges facing biosafety, and some solutions to these problems.
