Synopsis (short abstract) The brochure offers a comprehensive overview of the various communication initiatives undertaken as part of the EU-funded GCP/GLO/949/EC project. Beyond simply promoting the project itself, the team crafted a robust communication strategy aimed at raising awareness not only about the project's objectives but also about the critical significance of food safety and plant health. One of the main objectives of the communication strategy is to give voice to the partners involved in the project. The brochure highlights the efforts made in this respect. It highlights the interviews conducted with workshop participants and government officials in each country, ensuring diverse perspectives were captured and represented. Activities showcased in the brochure are the press releases circulated around project activities, the X/Twitter posts, the news articles published on FAO websites, EU websites, local publications, and the activities conducted for the 2023 World Food Safety Day. The brochure reveals the efforts made to include voices from our partners across the 12 African Union countries. Interviews were conducted in each country with participants of workshops and government officials to receive their feedback around the assessments and activities. Photos and footage were taken of missions conducted in participating countries to validate the data collected throughout the project period. The footage and photos are being edited and collated to create a series of videos meant to document the work conducted throughout the project.

    Climate change is having an impact on ecosystems and agricultural production systems throughout the world. It influences international trade flows of plants and plant products and it will change the infectivity, severity and distribution of plant pests throughout the world. Preventive, mitigation and adaptation measures by national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) and regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs) are essential to limit the international spread of pests adapting to climate change.Climate-change impacts on ecosystems, pests and vectors also threaten the international trading system, as international trade provides a pathway for pests and vectors to spread into new areas of the world. To facilitate safe international trade in plants and plant products, it is therefore imperative to strengthen national, regional and international phytosanitary capacities regarding climate change. The aim of this document is to provide technical and operational advice to NPPOs and RPPOs on how to effectively assess and manage the pest risk that is a consequence of climate change.
