CLIMATE CHANGE WEBINAR SERIES – 24-26 SEPTEMBER 2024

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 are essential to limit the international spread of pests adapting to climate change.

This webinar series aims to raise awareness and discussions on how climate change affects plant pests, and how mitigating measures can protect plant health, and ultimately safeguard food security, the environment and international trade.
