A vast range of plant pests threatens global food production, the productivity and biodiversity of forests and the wild flora of the natural environment. Preventing these pests from spreading and establishing in new countries and regions is the aim of national plant protection organizations and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The IPPC, together with its (185) Contracting Parties (CPs), developed the IPPC Strategic Framework 2020-2030, which identifies specific priorities that need to be addressed to improve the capacity of all countries to implement harmonized measures to reduce pest spread and minimize the impact of pests on food security, trade, economic growth, and the environment. In this context, the project aimed to improve the capacity of the IPPC’s CPs to implement relevant phytosanitary measures and actions that will help to better prevent pest introductions and spread, and to minimize their impact on food security, international trade and the environment. -
DocumentIndependent evaluation of the workings of the International Plant Protection Convention and its institutional arrangements 2007The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is an international treaty relating to plant health, to which as of September 2007 165 governments adhere. The Secretariat for the IPPC is provided by FAO and the Convention is governed by the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (CPM). The WTO agreement on sanitary and phyto-sanitary matters (SPS) recognises the IPPC as the international standard-setting organization for the elaboration of international standards to help ensure that phytosani tary measures are not used as unjustified barriers to trade. Consequently, steps were undertaken to adapt the Convention to the new realities. This resulted in the development of a revised text which extended the Convention’s scope and mandate to include standard-setting, the promotion of the provision of technical assistance, and to address environmental concerns. The new revised text of the IPPC was adopted in 1997 and came into force in October 2005.
