    A report of the Implementation and Review Support System (IRSS) study: Analyzing the benefits of implementing the IPPC. This study was commissioned by the CPM Bureau, to identify the benefits of implementing the IPPC at the national, regional and global level, while also considering benefits to different industries and sectors relating to plant health. The different aspects that were to be considered were in relation to implementation of the Convention, ISPMs and CPM recommendations, in achievin g the IPPC strategic objectives. The outcomes of this study are intended to highlight to the beneficiaries and stakeholders of the IPPC, how implementation of the Convention, ISPMs and CPM recommendations is of value to them. The beneficiaries are considered the IPPC community, at the global, regional and national levels, who are involved in plant health implementation activities. The study will demonstrate benefits using a series of case studies.

    An account of the Commission session held in Beijing, China from 27 to 31 August 2007. Delegates from 18 Commission member countries attended - Australia, Cambodia, China, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Republic of Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam. The meeting reviewed the body's work since the previous Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission and the ove rall plant protection situation at national and regional levels. The Commission discussed and adopted two Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures and for the first time formulated a strategy and business plan which include a position statement, mission statement and five regional directions. Other items of note were acceptance of pest risk analysis for South American Leaf Blight (SALB) for rubber as a basis for the development of a standard on measures for protection from the SALB in the r egion and progress made in information exchange among member countries through the publication of "Country Profiles of Plant Protection from APPPC Members". The latter will greatly assist in formulating better strategies and policies for pest and pesticide management, provide early warning of dangerous trends or gaps in the execution of plant protection functions, promote transparency and harmonization of procedures, and improve regional cooperation and development.

    Prevention, preparedness and response guidelines for Spodoptera frugiperda 2021
    Also available in:

    Fall Armyworm (FAW) is a transboundary pest that has increasingly spread around the world over the last few years, affecting food security in many countries in Africa, the Near East, Asia and the Pacific. To respond to this global threat and scale-up international efforts to reduce the spread of FAW worldwide, FAO launched a three-year Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control, which puts new emphasis on prevention. As the international standards setting body for plant health, the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is called upon to play a crucial role in implementing the global action and reduce the risk of further introduction of FAW into new territories.
