Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUse and implementation of Codex, IPPC and WOAH standards: How do the three sisters monitor the impact of their work? 2025
Also available in:
No results found.FAO estimates that one-third of trade in food and agriculture takes place within global value chains and crosses at least two borders. To protect trillions of dollars in worldwide exports of food and agricultural products from unsafe or poor-quality food and the spread of pests and diseases, trading nations rely on the implementation of globally agreed standards set by three international entities: the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the International Plant Protection Convention and the World Organisation for Animal Health, known collectively as “the three sisters”. This document examines how and why each of the three sisters monitors, the use and impact of their standards, and what challenges they face in carrying out these monitoring activities. Also explored are the outcomes and information that have emerged from monitoring that improve trade harmonization and that ultimately will leave no one behind. This publication makes a case for the engagement of memberships in setting and implementing standards, and for supporting the monitoring activities that promise to improve the impact of international standards. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetContributions to the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework resulting from the partnership between FAO and the GEF in support of Latin American and Caribbean countries
Target 05: Ensure sustainable, safe and legal harvesting and trade of wild species
2025Also available in:
Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the goals of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been essential in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biological diversity is rich but under threat. FAO has worked alongside local governments, community organizations, and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity but also promote sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Target 5 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Ensure sustainable, safe and legal harvesting and trade of wild species.Valuable contributions have been made in Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Ecuador, Bolivia, Grenada, Mexico, Venezuela, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBiodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Land Management in the Soda Saline-alkaline Wetlands Agropastoral Landscapes in the Western Area of the Jilin Province
Evaluation highlights
2025Also available in:
No results found.The five-year project is funded by GEF and implemented by FAO. The executing partner is the Department of Water Resources, Jilin Province. The project uses the western Jilin wetlands to address one of the most disruptive environmental challenges in China: large-scale land degradation and biodiversity damages caused by decreasing water resources. Its global environmental objective is to demonstrate and replicate an integrated model for Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) in saline-alkaline productive landscapes, including rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation in wetlands. The development objective is to provide the long-term sustainable flow of income to farmers’ communities from farming systems (crop, livestock and fish) in the western area of Jilin Province by building an ecologically resilient productive landscape. -
