    The warming of the climate system as a result of human activity is unequivocal and presents a huge threat to global food security. Many developing countries will be particularly affected by climate change impacts and will suffer reductions in agricultural yields. International agricultural trade presents an opportunity to leverage these challenges, providing the possibility to counteract regional food shortages caused by climate change impacts. However, both climate change and international trade are expected to affect the dispersion of pests and diseases, as well as food-borne pathogens and contaminants. To realize the potential of international agricultural trade and to prevent it from increasing pathways for the geographical distribution of pests, diseases or food-borne pathogens, it is imperative for countries to establish efficient Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures. Ensuring the establishment of such measures, is particularly challenging due to the unpredictable nature of the impact of climate change on pests and diseases. It is necessary to upgrade existing knowledge about climate change effects on pests, diseases and food-borne pathogens and, where possible, for research to be undertaken collaboratively at, for example, regional level.
