16、NATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORTFOREWORD BY QU DONGYU, FAO DIRECTOR-GENERALIn December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health. “Protecting plants, protecting life” was the IYPH slogan embodying the concept that plants are li
17、fe and contribute to the health and wellbeing of people and all living beings on Earth. Plants alone provide over 80 percent of the food we eat and the oxygen we breathe, and keeping them healthy is key to securing several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Yet, plant health is increasingly
18、 at risk. Plant pests are responsible for the annual loss of up to 40percent of food crops globally. This is especially relevant to the millions of smallholder farmers and people in rural communities who rely on agriculture as a primary source of income and see their livelihoods at risk. The climate
19、 crisis and unsustainable human activities are altering ecosystems, reducing biodiversity and creating new niches for invasive pests to thrive. Concurrently, international travel and trade that can unintentionally spread pests and diseases rapidly around the world have tripled in volume over the las
20、t decade, causing great damage to native plants and the environment.I would like to convey my appreciation and congratulate the Government of Finland for championing this initiative for the global plant health community, as well as the IYPH International Steering Committee for their invaluable guida
21、nce in implementing the IYPH Action Plan. I would also like to extend my appreciation to all the governments and other relevant stakeholders who supported the implementation of the International Year of Plant Health. Despite the difficult circumstances posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we succeeded in
22、 achieving the objectives of the International Year of Plant Health 2020. This report summarizes the key achievements of the Year and discusses its legacies as the international plant health community plans its future work: it helped raise global awareness of how protecting plant health can help end
23、 hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment and boost economic development; and catalysed an increase in the resources dedicated to plant health, triggered new partnerships and shared best practices on ways to keep plants healthy while caring for the environment. It was a collective effort invo
24、lving national, regional and global actors in hundreds of events and initiatives.Although the official Year has ended, our work will continue. Efforts for the protection for plant health are essential. For this reason, the work of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) in setting inter
25、national standards and phytosanitary regulations is crucial to securing plant health worldwide.Following the success of the International Year of Plant Health 2020, the 42nd Session of the FAO Conference in June this year endorsed the proposal by the Government of Zambia to establish an Internationa
26、l Day of Plant Health to be celebrated annually on 12 May. The United Nations General Assembly will consider this proposal at its 76th Session. Following the impetus created by the International Year of Plant Health, the FAO scientific review of the impact of the climate crisis on plant pests has al
27、ready provided the scientific basis for IPPC future actions on assessing and managing the impacts on plant health and making the necessary adjustments to relevant phytosanitary activities. Moreover, the first International Plant Health Conference will be held in May 2022 and will bring together the
28、global plant health community to discuss scientific, technical and regulatory plant health issues. The International Year of Plant Health 2020 raised awareness on the fundamental role that plant health plays in achieving the SDGs. The new FAO Strategic Framework 20222031, and the aligned IPPC Strate
29、gic Framework 20202030, support the 2030 Agenda through the transformation to MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind. viThis report will provide invaluable informat
30、ion on lessons learned and best practices to policymakers, researchers and other plant health practitioners in the public and private sectors, civil society, international organizations and all other stakeholders, who share my conviction that plant health is essential for the eradication of hunger a
31、nd malnutrition globally.Qu DongyuFAO Director-GeneralviiINTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORTPREFACE BY RALF LOPIAN, CHAIRPERSON OF IYPH INTERNATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEESince 2014, national and regional plant protection organizations and the International Plant Protection Conventio
32、n, together with partners from the private sector, non-governmental organizations and the research community worked tirelessly to organize an International Year of Plant Health. The intention for the IYPH was to raise worldwide public awareness on important issues concerning plant health, in particu
33、lar on how plant health contributes to food security, poverty reduction and the preservation of biodiversity. We wanted to show to the public and to politicians around the world how plant health contributes to the realization of the United Nations Development Agenda, and we endeavoured to demonstrat
34、e that plant health does not only concern agriculture, but is also interconnected with environmental degradation and climate change. Our aim was to establish an understanding around the world that plant health is as important for the environment and our livelihoods as human health is to the well-bei
35、ng of people. In December 2019, the IYPH was launched, and the international plant health community was set to implement an ambitious programme to promote plant health. The appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, reshaped the International Year of Plant Health considerably, because travel rest
36、rictions, worldwide lockdowns and reduced physical interactions between people led to cancellations and postponements of in-person events such as trade fairs, seminars, meetings and conferences. The pandemic caused a reorientation of IYPH communication activities and channels and, for the first time
37、 ever, an international year was centred primarily on social and virtual media activities. The analytics presented in this report that almost 500million social media accounts had been reached and that potentially 4.4billion readers have been accessed are truly staggering and are an indicator of the
38、success of these adjusted communication activities.The IYPH was not only about communication and public awareness, it was also an opportunity to develop policies to set the tracks for addressing future challenges to plant health. The work undertaken in relation to climate change impacts on plant hea
39、lth will have effects on plant health policies for decades to come. The newly adopted IPPC Strategic Framework 20202030 identified for the first time a development agenda containing topics that should be addressed by the international plant health community in the next ten years. The promotion of pl
40、ant health and its impact on sustainable food systems resulted in tangible contributions to United Nations work on food security.The organization of an international year and the implementation of its work programme is a multi-year undertaking, which can only be achieved through cooperation with pas
41、sionate and committed individuals. As the Chair of the IYPH International Steering Committee and the IYPH Technical Advisory Body, I have been lucky to be blessed with the cooperation of so many brilliant and enthusiastic professionals working together. They made the organisation of the IYPH a “walk
42、 in the park”. I would be remiss if I did not mention the determining role of FAO staff, in particular the staff of the Secretariat of the International Plant Protection Convention, for the successful outcome of the IYPH. They have set the bar for excellence with their dedication and professionalism
43、.The International Year of Plant Health has been the foundation for intensifying international cooperation and national activities for improving plant health. National, regional and international plant health authorities and stakeholders must build on this foundation and create plant health policies
44、 and structures that address the challenges of the future. This report contains elements that may be of assistance when developing these policies and structures.Ralf LopianChair of the IYPH International Steering CommitteeviiiACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Secre

65、rnational Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) adopted the first formal initiative, proposed by Finland, to declare 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health. Following approval of the IYPH resolution by the Fortieth Session of the FAO Conference in July 2017, the FAO Director-General informed th
66、e United Nations Secretary-General about the decision and requested that the resolution be presented at the following session of the United Nations General Assembly. In December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly adopted unanimously the resolution A/RES/73/252, which officially declared 2020
67、the International Year of Plant Health (Annex A).To support the proclamation of the IYPH, the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures established the IPPC IYPH Steering Committee in 2016, which later served as the IYPH Technical Advisory Board (IYPH TAB). The IYPH TAB served as a pool of knowledge and
68、expertise, reviewing technical publications, assisting in the development of communication materials, acting as the programme committee for the International Plant Health Conference (IPHC), and developing the proceedings coming out of the IPHC.On 21 December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly
69、 unanimously voted to declare 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health and mandated FAO, in collaboration with the IPPC, to facilitate its implementation. In 2019, FAO and the IPPC Secretariat established the IYPH International Steering Committee (ISC) to guide the development and implementati
70、on of the IYPH Action Plan, to stimulate dialogue with partners, and to help mobilize political and financial support for the IYPH. The IYPH ISC had 18members: 7representatives from the 7FAO regional groups, 7alternates, 2members of the IYPH TAB (chair and vice-chair), and 7representatives from Unit
71、ed Nations agencies and international organizations. Geographic and economic groups of countries, regional plant protection organizations, academia, international agricultural research organizations, civil society organizations, global farmer organizations, the private sector and resource partners w
72、ere also represented in the ISC. In addition, FAO regional offices were invited to attend IYPH ISC meetings as observers. The IYPH ISC held its first meeting on 14 June 2019 at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, and met 18 times to oversee the implementation of the IYPH Action Plan.Due to the COVID-19
73、 pandemic, the IYPH International Steering Committee decided to extend the official IYPH until 1 July 2021. 3INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORTIYPH INTERNATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEEIn 2019, FAO and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) established the International
74、Year of Plant Health (IYPH) International Steering Committee (ISC) when the United Nations General Assembly declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health. The IYPH ISC guided the development and implementation of the IYPH Action Plan, engaged in dialogue with partners and helped mobilize p
75、olitical and financial support for the IYPH. FAO/IPPC SecretariatMembershipThe IYPH ISC consisted of 18 members, including: 7 Permanent Representatives from FAO Regional Groups; 2 members of the IPPC IYPH Technical Advisory Board (chair and vice-chair); and up to 9 representatives from United Nation
76、s agencies and international organizations; geographic and economic groups of countries; regional plant protection organizations; academia and international agricultural research organizations; civil society organizations and global farmer organizations; private sector and resource partners.4IYPH TE
77、CHNICAL ADVISORY BOARDIn 2015, the Tenth Session of the Commission of Phytosanitary Measures (CPM-10) supported Finlands proposal to establish an International Year of Plant Health (IYPH) in 2020. The following year, CPM-11 (2016) agreed to form an IYPH Steering Committee (SC). Following the officia
78、l proclamation of the IYPH and based on a decision by CPM-14 (2019), the former IYPH Steering Committee transformed into the IYPH Technical Advisory Board (TAB).The IYPH Technical Advisory Board took over the role of the former Steering Committee, with new tasks to produce technical publications and
79、 to assist in the development of communication materials. The IYPH TAB also served as the programme committee for the new IYPH International Steering Committee (ISC). It helped to guide the programming for the International Plant Health Conference (IPHC), scheduled to take place in 2022, and to deve
80、lop the proceedings coming out of the IPHC. MembershipThe IYPH TAB consisted of up to 25 members, including: 1 member and 1 alternate from IPPC contracting parties in each of the seven FAO regions; 5 to 7 members from partner organizations, including regional plant protection organizations; 3 repres
81、entatives from IPPC governance and subsidiary bodies; and 1 representative from the IPPC Secretariat.Membership lists of the IYPH ISC and TAB are noted in Annex B.5INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORTKEY FACTS Plants make up 80percent of the food we eat and produce 98percent of the
82、 oxygen we breathe.The annual value of trade in agricultural products has grown almost three-fold over the past decade, largely in emerging economies and developing countries, reaching USD1.7trillion.FAO estimates that agricultural production must rise about 60percent by 2050 in order to feed a larg
83、er and generally richer population.Plant pests are responsible for losses of up to 40percent of food crops globally, and for trade losses in agricultural products worth over USD220billion each year.Climate change threatens to reduce not only the quantity of crops, lowering yields, but also their nut
84、ritional value. Rising temperatures also mean that more plant pests are appearing earlier and in places where they were never seen before. Beneficial insects are vital for plant health for pollination, pest control, soil health and nutrient recycling and yet, insect abundance has fallen 80percent in
85、 the last 2530 years. One million locusts can eat about one tonne of food a day, and the largest swarms can consume over 100000 tonnes each day, or enough to feed tens of thousands of people for one year.62. IYPH OBJECTIVES AND ACHIEVEMENTSIYPH was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise global aw
86、areness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment and boost economic development. The IYPH highlighted the role of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs), scientific and research institutions,
87、 private-sector firms, and national, regional and international non-profit organizations in protecting agricultural production from losses caused by pests and diseases. In addition, the IYPH promoted application of innovative, environmentally friendly approaches in combating plant pests and diseases
88、. The IYPH specific objectives were to: Raise awareness of plant health among the public and political decision makers at global, regional and national levels. Induce different stakeholders to contribute to the global battle against plant pests and to adopt globally recognized standards and sustaina
89、ble plant protection practices. Increase awareness of the importance of plant health towards achieving the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda. Educate the general public and improve their knowledge of plant health and increase information about the state of plant protection in the wo
90、rld. Enhance dialogue and stakeholder involvement in plant health. Promote and strengthen national, regional and global plant health efforts and their resources in the light of increasing trade and new pest risks caused by climate change. Facilitate the establishment of plant health partnerships on
91、national, regional and global levels. PLANT HEALTH DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTES TO SEVEN SDGS, NOTABLY SDG1 (NO POVERTY), SDG2 (ZERO HUNGER), SDG8 (DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH), SDG12 (RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION), SDG13 (CLIMATE ACTION), SDG15 (LIFE ON LAND) AND SDG17 (PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE G
92、OALS).IYPH WAS A SUCCESSFUL STEP TOWARDS RECOGNITION, BY BOTH GOVERMENTS AND INDUSTRY, OF THE PLANT HEALTH SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY AND BIODIVERSITY FROM INVASIVE SPECIES.Francisco Javier Trujillo Arriaga, former CPM Chairperson7INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORTPL

96、 to protect plants and plant health83. IYPH OUTPUTS3.1 IYPH CONTENT AND PRODUCTS An action-oriented campaign website, available in all official United Nations languages, provided useful information and resources to help different stakeholders from all over the world promote the Year and learn more a
97、bout its scope, objectives and messages. To increase the impact and visibility of the Year, all partners use the IYPH visual identity in their activities and events. The IYPH logo and slogan were translated in over 30 languages with the support of FAO regional and country offices, IPPC contracting p
98、arties and numerous IYPH partners worldwide. People were called to share their human-interest stories on plant health to help raise global awareness of the importance of healthy plants and inspire others to take action. The IYPH Secretariat received hundreds of submissions showing how people contrib
99、ute to plant health in their everyday lives as well as the damage caused by plant pests and diseases. These stories illustrated how protecting plant health can help end hunger and food insecurity, protect the environment, preserve biodiversity and boost economic development. The most powerful storie
100、s were published on the IYPH website and translated in all official languages. In September 2019, the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) invited its contracting parties to consider issuing a commemorative postage stamp to promote plant health and its contribution to the sustain
101、able development agenda. All the designated operators of UPU member countries were invited to adopt the IYPH theme and contribute to the IYPH. The initiative was welcomed by a significant number of countries and, in 2020 and 2021, IYPH postage stamps were issued by 29 countries, including Finland, I
102、taly, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Togo, Tonga, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and the Vatican.9INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORT As part of the Years out
103、reach campaign, Belgium, Italy and Mexico minted coins commemorating the IYPH to promote plant health at national and regional levels. This achievement was possible thanks to the joint efforts of the governments, national plant protection organizations and national mints of the three countries. A wi
104、de range of digital and print-ready communication materials was developed to help different stakeholders promote the IYPH and spread its messages around the world. A communication toolkit was prepared in all official United Nations languages to inform governments, farmers, academia, the private sect
105、or, young people and the general public about the importance of protecting plant health to sustain life and to build a better future. The toolkit included a “Get Started” guide, videos, podcasts, graphics and animations, publications such as an activity book for children, a communication guide and a
106、n IYPH brochure summarising FAO and IPPC work with countries and highlighting specific actions different stakeholders can take to support the cause. In particular, the activity book for children “Healthy plants, healthy planet” was extremely successful. It was translated into 14 languages thanks to
107、the contribution of FAO regional and country offices, plant protection organizations and IYPH partners. The book was distributed in schools and included in educational programmes to bring children and young people closer to the world of plant protection. An IYPH Newsletter was also established to sh
108、are periodical updates regarding the main events and initiatives related to the IYPH. In total, 14 IYPH Newsletters were released by the IPPC Secretariat. Relevant podcasts and videos were also produced.VARIOUS CREATIVE ACTIVITIES WERE ORGANIZED IN MANY COUNTRIES IN ASIA TO CELEBRATE THE IYPH, AMONG

110、Kyu-Ock Yim, Vice-Chairperson of the IYPH International Steering Committee10Science diplomacy for plant healthIn August 2020, a policy paper entitled “Science diplomacy for plant health” was published by the peer-reviewed scientific journalNature Plants on the occasion of the International Year of P
111、lant Health. The study analyses new perspectives and challenges on global phytosanitary research coordination and highlights the need for the establishment of a global network aiming at facilitating international research efforts on regulated and emerging pests. This global research coordination net
112、work will help overcome current limitations in phytosanitary systems and facilitate collaboration between policymakers, scientists, plant protection organizations, governments and industries.NOOR for FAO/Pep Bonet11INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORT3.2 IYPH EVENTS AND INITIATIVES
113、Hundreds of events, from exhibitions to cultural performances, contests, panel discussions and conferences, took place across the globe to mark the International Year of Plant Health. Although the COVID-19 pandemic created challenges for holding in-person events, most planned events still took place
114、 on virtual platforms. Altogether, 680 national, regional and global events were registered on the IYPH event page.IYPH was celebrated nationally, regionally and globally through hundreds of initiatives and events.The Closing Ceremony of the International Year of Plant Health, opened by the FAO Dire

First, using its eyes and satellites, it prevents the main plant from getting damaged by planting other plants that pests like more. For example, armyworm feeds on maize but also prefers rice. In this situa
155、tion, it can plant rice next to the maize, so the armyworm wont feed on the maize so much. Second, with the powerful lights from the head of the Cicada, it can shine light on the pests and the pests will possibly die. Third, it can create a highpitched sound from its abdomen that prevents the breedi
156、ng and laying of eggs. Fourth, the Cicada can educate people on how to plant different highquality crops in lessdeveloped countries.

251、 HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORT4.1 MESSAGE BY JINGYUAN XIA, DIRECTOR OF FAO PLANT PRODUCTION AND PROTECTION DIVISION AND SECRETARY OF THE IPPCReflecting on the key achievements and legacies for the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH) 2020, I amveryproud to have been the Director of the Food and Ag
252、riculture Organization (FAO) Plant Production and Protection Division, and Secretary of the IPPC during thiscampaign. I would like to convey my heartfelt appreciation to all stakeholders who contributed to making the IYPH 2020 a success, and especially toRalf Lopian,Ministry of Agriculture and Fores
253、try of Finland, theChairperson of the IYPH International Steering Committee. Without his vision and leadership, themultilateral efforts to declare the International Year of Plant Healthin2020 may never have come to fruition. Six years in the makingand despite a global pandemic, he led and championed
254、 international action to extend theIYPHby six months into 2021, and reaped the fruitful success of global advocacy in favour of plant health awareness. The achievements of the IYPH were possible thanks to strong support from countries, as well as from relevant private-sector stakeholders, whoplayeda
255、prominent role intheIYPH International Steering Committee,and from thecelebrity IYPH advocates. Academia and research also played a fundamental role in the success of the Year, contributing to the publication of the Scientific review of the Impact of Climate Changeon Plant Pests: Aglobal challenge t
256、o prevent and mitigate plant pest risks in agriculture, forestry and ecosystems. Successful legacies of the IYPH also include the art, drawing, photography and video competitions for civil society and the Youth Declaration on Plant Health.It is not possible to envisagethe IYPH without the involvemen
257、t of younger generations.Consequently,theIPPC Secretariat convened youth groups from around the world to develop a Youth Declaration on Plant Healthin orderto build on the legacy of the IYPH. I am grateful toFAO and the IPPC community for theextremelyenthusiastic support, both in terms of financial
258、resources andthroughtheirhard work and dedication, which made a wide variety of advocacy initiatives possible. The closure of IYPHshould not be seenastheend, butratherthe beginning of continuous, ongoing awareness of plant health issues. Efforts are underway to have the United Nations declare an off
259、icial InternationalDay of Plant Health, to be commemoratedyearlyon 12May. My sincere gratitude to the millions of social media users who engaged withthe invaluable work of IYPH champions, communicators, stakeholders, planners, organizers and teams that successfully achieved global awareness of plant
260、 health, which is crucial to feeding and clothing the world and meeting FAO SDGs.Jingyuan Xia, Director of FAO Plant Production and Protection DivisionFAO/G. Carotenuto424.2 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PLANT HEALTHAt the Twenty-seventh Session of the FAO Committee on Agriculture (COAG), the Government of Z
261、ambia proposed the establishment of an International Day of Plant Health (IDPH) to be observed by the international community on 12May each year. The proposal was endorsed unanimously by COAG in October 2020, as well as by the FAO Council and Conference, respectively in December 2020 and July 2021.
262、FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu forwarded the FAO Conference resolution to the United Nations Secretary-General Antnio Guterres for its final endorsement at the Seventy-fifth Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in December 2021.The establishment of an International Day of Plant Heal
263、th is one of the many effective ways to continue promoting healthy plants within the international agenda, advocating for greater engagement by all stakeholders. The IDPH would mark the success of the IYPH and strengthen IYPH key messages and achievements. FAO Director-General stated he was proud of
264、 the successful achievement of IYPH objectives, despite the difficult circumstances: “FAO will continue . to advance the legacies of the International Year of Plant Health, in support of achieving better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life leaving no one behind. Pla
265、nt health,” he concluded, “is fundamental . for life.”The IDPH would contribute to the FAO Strategic Framework 20222031, as well as provide steady input to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.The International Day of Plant Health recognizes the considerable importance that governments, inter
266、national organizations, civil society and the private sector place on the topic. The process to establish the International Day of Plant Health has seen great enthusiasm and engagement from all parties involved. The FAO Committee on Agriculture, the Council and Conference endorsed the proposal made
267、by the government of Zambia unanimously, and the IPPC Secretariat is prepared to lead the way towards renewed and ongoing engagement on plant health issues to enhance global food security and increase sustainable agricultural production, protect forests and the environment, and facilitate safe trade
268、 development and economic growth.4.3 SCIENTIFIC REVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON PLANT PESTS The IPPC Strategic Framework 20202030 includes assessing and managing the impact of climate change on plant health as one of the development agenda items to be addressed by the global plant health c
269、ommunity over the current decade. The mitigation of this impact will present a major challenge to national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) and international organizations working in plant health. International trade policies and phytosanitary measures will need careful evaluations and refinem
270、ents to address climate change response strategies. The resulting changes in plant health, such as climate change induced changes in pest epidemiology and frequent expansion of pest distributions, will provide challenges especially in areas such as surveillance, monitoring and other phytosanitary me
271、asures, as well as pest risk analysis. The risk of pests adapting to a changing climate may cause new pest risks to major staple crops. Therefore, it is important to forecast, prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change on plant health. To this end, the IYPH 2020 Action Plan included a focus
272、on the significant impact that climate change can have on the dispersal and epidemiology of pests and diseases. The IYPH International Steering Committee commissioned a scientific review to explore how climate change impacts insect pests and diseases such as fall armyworm, desert locust, banana fusa
273、rium wilt and potato late blight. CLIMATE CHANGE IS SERIOUSLY AFFECTING THE ENTIRE WORLD, AND PLANTS ARE AMONG THE ORGANISMS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED BY IT. OUR FOOD SECURITY, HEALTH AND ENTIRE LIVES DEPEND ON HEALTHY PLANTS. IT IS HIGH TIME TO INVEST MORE HUMAN AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES ON PLANT HEALTH RESE

276、 PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINAL REPORTThe review puts forward recommendations to prevent and mitigate plant pest risks in agriculture, forestry and ecosystems. It also contributes to enhancing science-based discussions on how to assess and manage the impact of climate change on plant health.The review wa
277、s published, along with a summary for policymakers, at a high-level virtual launch event on 1June 2021, with opening remarks from FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu. Permanent representatives from Zambian and Finnish ministries for agriculture and forestry also delivered keynote speeches. This scientifi
278、c review is primarily addressed to the plant health community and decision makers, including government officials, legislators and politicians. The review provides a scientific basis for assessing and managing the impact of climate change on plant health in phytosanitary policy planning and legal fr
279、ameworks. In addition, the review offers an opportunity to enhance international dialogue and to raise awareness on the growing impact of climate change and the risks it poses to plant health and, consequently, to the attainment of the 2030 Agenda. The results and recommendations of the review can a
280、lso enhance adequate human and financial resources to deal with pest emergencies and to forecast, prevent and mitigate the impacts caused by climate change on plant health.The evidence assessed in the scientific review strongly indicates that climate change has already expanded some pests host range
281、 and geographical distribution, and may further increase the risk of pest introduction to new areas. Increased international cooperation and development of harmonized plant protection strategies are crucial to help countries successfully adapt their pest risk management measures to climate change.Th
282、e review was conducted by lead author Maria Lodovica Gullino (University of Turin, Italy) and ten external experts from all FAO regions: Ramon Albajes (Spain), Ibrahim Al-Jboory (Iraq), Francislene Angelotti (Brazil), Subrata Chakraborty (Australia), Karen A. Garrett (United States of America), Bret
283、t Phillip Hurley (South Africa), Peter Juroszek (Germany), Khaled Makkouk (Lebanon), Xubin Pan (China) and Tannecia Stephenson (Jamaica). It went through an external peer-review process that involved FAO staff at the IPPC Secretariat, the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment (OCB),
284、 the Land and Water Division (NSL), the Forestry Division (NFO) and the Plant Production and Protection Division (NSP).

287、YPH ISC commissioned an IYPH youth declaration as an important legacy of the Year. The idea driving the declaration was to bring young people together to express their views on how healthy plants contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to develop ideas for concrete actions to achieve
288、 plant health globally and to raise awareness of the topic. The Youth Declaration was prepared by young people and for young people in order to ensure empowerment and youth ownership of the initiative. In December 2020, the IYPH Secretariat launched an open call for expression of interest to allow i
289、nterested youth groups to take part in the declaration drafting process. Altogether 26organizations responded to the call, forming the drafting committee that developed the approach and format of the Declaration. The youth groups had backgrounds in themes relevant to plant health, such as agricultur
290、e, biodiversity and climate change, but also to the wider context of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. The IYPH Youth Declaration includes suggestions for concrete actions to safeguard healthy plants globally in seven thematic areas: 1. the connection of plant health to climate change, food security and
291、 One Health;2. biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and pest management;3. Indigenous peoples and local communities that offer plant protection strategies;4. people vulnerable to risks and their significance in maintaining plant health;5. global phytosanitary regulations, responsible economic growt
292、h and trade;6. strengthened plant health education, capacity-building and development;7. redirecting capital flows, funding and mobilization of the private and public sectors to support healthyplants.The Youth Declaration is addressed to young people, the general public, the plant health community,
293、politicians, legislators, government officials, media, academia and research institutes, and national and regional plant protection organizations. The Declaration was published along with an open letter on the IPPC website, and was presented at the IYPH Closing Ceremony on 1 July 2021. Organizations
294、 and individuals can support the initiative by signing the declaration at https:/www.ippc.int/en/declaration/youth-declaration/.The IPPC Secretariat prepared a promotional video with the youth groups involved to promote the declaration on social media.45INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PLANT HEALTH 2020 - FINA

300、AL PLANT HEALTH CONFERENCEThe first International Plant Health Conference (IPHC) was scheduled to take place in Helsinki, Finland, from 28 June to 1 July 2021, but was cancelled due to ongoing travel restrictions and public health risk posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In agreement with host country F
301、inland, the IYPH International Steering Committee made the decision to reschedule the IPHC, and recommended that the first International Plant Health Conference take place in the week of 12 May 2022, to coincide with the first International Day of Plant Health. To pave the way to the conference, the
302、 IYPH International Steering Committee decided to organize a series of thematic webinars, kick-started by the launch of the Scientific review on the impact of climate change on plant pests on 1 June 2021. The event was followed by other two webinars on 29 and 30 June 2021, which focused on the impor
303、tance of plant health for food systems, and the interconnections between plant health, biodiversity and climate change. Webinar participants highlighted the importance of including plant health considerations and the IPPC international standards in food security dialogues within FAO and the United N
304、ations Food Systems Summit. They also stressed the importance of plant health in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its relevance to the One Health approach. With climate change now creating the conditions for plant pests and diseases to thrive in places where they were not previ
305、ously present, participants highlighted the importance of evaluating the impact of climate change on plant health on a regular basis, especially in relation to pest risk analysis and global surveillance issues. They also reiterated that phytosanitary issues should be adequately reflected in the inte
306、rnational climate change debate under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. With regard to biodiversity, it was stressed in particular that international cooperation between biodiversity-related conventions should be increased.Both webinars gathered hundreds of participants and were registe
307、red as independent dialogues for the United Nations Food Systems Summit, with the webinar results helping to inform the Summit. Two more webinars are planned for October and December 2021, the first focusing on plant health and remote sensing, and the latter focusing on plant health and the SDGs.THE
