people whose livelihoods rely on plant health and those who live in countries beset by food
insecurity are especially vulnerable to these risks.
Invasive pests are also one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss.
How to mitigate the impact on plants and crops?
The review puts forward a number of recommendations to mitigate the impact of climate change on
plant health.
Chief among them, increased international cooperation is deemed crucial as the effective
management of plant pests by one farmer or one country affects the success of others.
Improved measures to limit the international spread of pests through trade and travel and
adjustments to plant protection protocols are equally important.
The review also stresses the need for more research into the impact of climate change on pests and
hence, on plant health; and for more investments in strengthening national phytosanitary systems
and structures.
"Preserving plant health is fundamental to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Sustaining
plant health is an integral part of our work towards more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable
agri-food systems," stressed the Director-General.
His remarks were echoed by Jaana Husu-Kallio Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture and
Forestry of Finland; Songowayo Zyambo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture of Zambia; and
Francisco Javier Trujillo Arriaga, Former Chairperson of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures.
The three high-level speakers welcomed the scientific review - described as a guide for better
climate change and plant health management - and expressed support for the International Plant
Protection Convention Strategic Framework 2020-2030, which includes assessing and managing the
impacts of climate change on plant health as one of the eight development agenda items to be
addressed by the global plant health community in this decade.
Finland and Zambia have played a key role in the establishment and promotion of the International
Year of Plant Health and its initiatives.
Tackling climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation in one go
FAO believes that is crucial to respond to the interconnected challenges of climate change,
biodiversity loss and environmental degradation simultaneously.
This includes implementing the International Plant Protection Convention's (IPPC) international
standards for phytosanitary measures to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful plant pests,
and to preserve biodiversity.
"We stand ready to strengthen collaboration with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
and others to ensure that phytosanitary matters are better reflected in the international climate
change agenda," said the Director-General.
FAO will continue to support Member countries with technical and scientific advice as well as to
fight plant pests that are a threat to global food security such as desert locust and fall armyworm.
Though the International Year of Plant Health is coming to an end, FAO and partners will continue
to build on its legacy and raise awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger,
reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development.
About the International Year of Plant Health
The United Nations declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH). The Year was
extended until 1 July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The launch of the scientific review was
one of the events organised by the IPPC Secretariat, as the Year is wrapping up.
