Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRegional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Approval of fumigation facilities 2014
Also available in:
No results found.Fumigation is a useful measure to reduce the risk of introduction and spread of regulated pests through the international movement of commodities or regulated articles. However, little guidance has been provided to National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) to assist them in assessing whether fumigators can undertake fumigations effectively. Endorsed by the twenty-eighth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Jeju, Republic of Korea in September 2013, th is standard provides guidance on developing appropriate systems for regulating and certifying fumigations to meet importing country requirements. Regional standards for phytosanitary measures are developed and adopted by the APPPC as part of the plant protection programme of the Commission's contracting parties to support regional harmonization and facilitate trade of commodities by member countries. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineRegional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Guidelines for the establishment and application of emergency actions and emergency measures 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Normally, phytosanitary import requirements that apply to a particular commodity are determined and made available to the exporting party before exports commence. These phytosanitary measures would be technically justified by the importing party. However, with emergency actions and/or emergency measures they are typically applied immediately in response to an emergency situation without the exporter/exporting country receiving prior notice and full technical justification may not be available at the time of application. Therefore, there are strict conditions attached to the use of emergency actions and emergency measures. This standard provides guidelines to contracting governments on how to establish and apply both phytosanitary emergency actions and emergency measures in a practical manner that follows the requirements of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs). This standard was endorsed by the by the twenty -fifth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Beijing, China in August 2007. Regional standards for phytosanitary measures are developed and adopted by APPPC as part of the plant protection programme of the Commission's contracting parties to support regional harmonization and facilitate trade of commodities by member countries. -
DocumentOther documentISPM 46. Commodity-specific standards for phytosanitary measures
Adopted 2022
2022This standard provides guidance on the purpose, use, content, publication and review of commodity-specific standards (hereafter referred to as “commodity standards”) for phytosanitary measures. Such standards, presented as annexes to this overarching concept standard, apply to commodities being moved in international trade and identify pests associated with these commodities and options for relevant phytosanitary measures to be considered by contracting parties. The lists of pests and options for phytosanitary measures identified are not intended to be exhaustive and are subject to review and revision. The scope of this standard and its annexes does not include contamination or diversion from intended use of commodities.

Book (series)FlagshipL’État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde 2020
Transformer les systèmes alimentaires pour une alimentation saine et abordable
2020Les mises à jour effectuées pour de nombreux pays ont permis cette année d’estimer la faim dans le monde avec une plus grande précision. En particulier, les nouvelles données disponibles ont permis de revoir toutes les estimations de la sous-alimentation faites pour la Chine depuis 2000, ce qui a entraîné une importante révision à la baisse du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde. Néanmoins, cette revision confirme la tendance signalée dans les éditions précédentes, à savoir que le nombre de personnes touchées par la faim dans le monde est en lente augmentation depuis 2014. Le rapport montre également que le fardeau de la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes reste un défi. Des progrès ont été réalisés en ce qui concerne le retard de croissance des enfants, l’insuffisance pondérale à la naissance et l’allaitement exclusive au sein, mais à un rythme encore trop lent. Le surpoids chez les enfants ne s’améliore pas et l’obésité chez les adultes est en hausse dans toutes les régions.Le rapport complète l’évaluation de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition par des projections de ce à quoi le monde pourrait ressembler en 2030 si les tendances constatées ces dix dernières années se maintiennent. Ces projections montrent que le monde n’est pas en voie d’atteindre l’objectif «Faim zéro» d’ici à 2030 et, malgré certains progrès, la plupart des indicateurs ne se rapprochent pas non plus des cibles mondiales fixées en matière de nutrition. La situation des groupes les plus vulnérables en matière de sécurité alimentaire et de nutrition risque de se détériorer davantage en raison des conséquences sanitaires et socioéconomiques de la pandémie de covid-19. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
