Contributing to the Long-Term Goal of Ensuring Plant Health Globally - GCP/GLO/424/EC
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH). The emphasis of the year was on increasing awareness among the public and policy-makers of the importance of healthy plants and the need to protect them in order to achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this context, the Assembly invited FAO, in collaboration with the IPPC, to serve as the lead agency to spearhead activities, and called on governments, civil society and the private sector to engage at global, regional and national levels. One of the key global events envisaged on the theme of plant health was the first International Plant Health Conference (IPHC). Following Finland’s withdrawal as host of the event due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland confirmed its willingness to host the conference in September 2022. The event aimed to address new and emerging challenges such as the impact of climate change impact, the increase in international trade, the rapid loss of biodiversity and new pest pathways such as e-commerce. It also explored more efficient policies, structures and mechanisms at the national, regional and global levels to address these issues.
