Book (stand-alone)Climate change impacts on twenty major crop pests in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southeastern Europe 2021This research report for a regional study on the impacts of climate change on the spread of pests contributes to FAO’s normative work, as a milestone for 2020–2021 under the Regular Programme. The year 2020 was designated by the United Nations as the as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH), with the aim of reducing crop loss from pests, which is estimated at 40 percent. In the current report, agricultural pests as any organism harmful to plants, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, etc are defined by the authors. We include those that cause direct damage as well as disease-causing organisms. Climate change is projected to worsen crop losses by another 10–25 percent, which in some regions would emanate from associated pests. Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southeastern Europe are under the research area.

ProjectSupport in Starting Up OH Interventions Minimizing the Socio-Economic Impact of Health Threats in Southern Africa - TCP/SFS/3901 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the global vulnerability to zoonotic diseases and the urgent need for improved preparedness using OH principles. These principles advocate for the collaboration of sectors involved in the health of people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. The tripartite organizations (FAO, OIE, WHO), recently joined by UNEP, are working together to address zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and biodiversity protection. However, national and regional implementation remains limited, especially in integrating wildlife and environmental health with traditional animal and human health sectors. AMR is a significant threat due to the misuse of antimicrobials in humans, animals, and agriculture. This misuse leads to resistant pathogens, complicating treatment and threatening food security, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. Southern Africa faces high levels of antimicrobial resistance, exacerbated by weak regulatory frameworks and poor agricultural practices.
