Enhancing International Plant Protection Convention’s Capacity to Protect Global Plant Resources and Facilitate Trade - GCP/GLO/040/EC

The introduction and spread or outbreak of plant pests significantly affects food security, biodiversity and economic prosperity. A vast range of plant pests threatens global food production, the productivity and biodiversity of forests and the wild flora of the natural environment. Preventing these pests from spreading and establishing in new countries and regions is the aim of national plant protection organizations and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The IPPC, together with its (185) Contracting Parties (CPs), developed the IPPC Strategic Framework 2020-2030, which identifies specific priorities that need to be addressed to improve the capacity of all countries to implement harmonized measures to reduce pest spread and minimize the impact of pests on food security, trade, economic growth, and the environment. In this context, the project aimed to improve the capacity of the IPPC’s CPs to implement relevant phytosanitary measures and actions that will help to better prevent pest introductions and spread, and to minimize their impact on food security, international trade and the environment.
