Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the first meeting of the Agreement on Port State Measures (PSMA) Open-ended Technical Working Group on Information Exchange, London, United Kingdom, 16-18 April 2018 2018The transmittal, electronic exchange and publication of information are key components of the PSMA and are essential if it is to meet its objective. There are several references to information exchange in the PSMA, with some that are general in nature while others are more specific in relation to the type of information to be exchanged and the recipients. The PSMA Open-ended Technical Working Group on Information Exchange meeting, called for by the Parties to the Agreement on Port State Measures (PSMA), was held in London, United Kingdom, from 16 to 18 April 2018. The Working Group was established to consider the information exchange requirements to support the implementation of the PSMA including the most appropriate structure for an information exchange system and how such a system would interact with complementary tools. The Working Group agreed, inter alia, that a global information exchange system was needed to support the implementation of the PSMA. It was agreed that a two-staged approach for developing this system should be taken prioritizing the need to access basic information such as national points of contact and designated ports.

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. -
