Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEstablishing global phytosanitary research coordination 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The 17th session of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures approved in 2023 the establishment of a global phytosanitary research coordination mechanism. This will allow regular identification of common plant health research priorities, to eliminate duplication of research activities and to facilitate the efficient use of financial and human resources. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookField survey guidance for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and diagnostics for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. To simplify the identification of the pest, it also provides visuals. Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus is a priority pest among several countries in the IPPC's Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), which aims to enhance pest management across Africa by empowering technical personnel or phytosanitary officers in national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to use science and digital technology. This survey guidance is intended to enhance NPPOs' surveillance of Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus and strengthen the resilience of national phytosanitary systems against plant pests of regulatory, economic and environmental concern, particularly Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus. It complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the APP mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, for monitoring and data collection. Countries will use the survey data to support the export trade of pest-free crop commodities. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideField survey guidance for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Consistent and thorough monitoring and pest surveillance are essential for countries to determine the presence or absence of plant pests, particularly those that significantly affect food security, the environment, trade, and agricultural productivity. This field survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), to survey Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense Tropical Race 4 (FOC TR4). FOC TR4 is a major pest threatening global banana production, can cause 100 percent yield loss on a farm, and is challenging and costly to manage. This document provides a protocol, with visuals, to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and diagnostics of FOC TR4, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. The field survey guidance complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP) mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform.

BookletAnnual reportIPPC Annual Report 2024
Protecting the world’s plant resources from pests
2025Also available in:
No results found.The 2024 International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Annual Report provides an overview of the IPPC Secretariat's key achievements for the year, as well as progress towards the achievement of the IPPC Strategic Framework. The report outlines achievements and progress in governance, standards setting, implementation, partnerships, and communication. The 2024 milestones include the commemoration of the International Day of Plant Health, celebrated on 12 May, the implementation of the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), the adoption of modifications to four International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs) and the adoption of a CPM Recommendation on Sea Containers. The 2024 IPPC Annual Report also provides a summary financial report. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookScientific review of the impact of climate change on plant pests
A global challenge to prevent and mitigate plant-pest risks in agriculture, forestry and ecosystems
2021Climate change represents an unprecedented challenge to the world’s biosphere and to the global community. It also represents a unique challenge for plant health. Human activities and increased market globalization, coupled with rising temperatures, has led to a situation that is favourable to pest movement and establishment. This scientific review assesses the potential effects of climate change on plant pests and consequently on plant health. The evidence assessed strongly indicates that climate change has already expanded some pests’ host range and geographical distribution, and may further increase the risk of pest introduction to new areas. This calls for international cooperation and development of harmonized plant protection strategies to help countries successfully adapt their pest risk management measures to climate change. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGood practices for monitoring and evaluation of national phytosanitary systems
Learning from three case studies
2022Also available in:
No results found.This report provides insights into good practices for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of national phytosanitary systems. Sharing these good M&E practices will enhance learning across the IPPC community and encourage National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) to develop national level phytosanitary M&E systems. M&E can play a supporting role in the implementation of national strategies for phytosanitary systems, and in the implementation of the IPPC Strategic Framework (2020–2030). NPPOs that have M&E systems and processes in place can respond more effectively to changing circumstances and can manage their work to align with national and international strategic plans or frameworks. Learning from each other on what works in different contexts can help countries improve M&E practices and thus increase the impact of their work to keep plant resources free of pests.
