Book (stand-alone)Scientific review of the impact of climate change on plant pests
A global challenge to prevent and mitigate plant-pest risks in agriculture, forestry and ecosystems
2021Climate change represents an unprecedented challenge to the world’s biosphere and to the global community. It also represents a unique challenge for plant health. Human activities and increased market globalization, coupled with rising temperatures, has led to a situation that is favourable to pest movement and establishment. This scientific review assesses the potential effects of climate change on plant pests and consequently on plant health. The evidence assessed strongly indicates that climate change has already expanded some pests’ host range and geographical distribution, and may further increase the risk of pest introduction to new areas. This calls for international cooperation and development of harmonized plant protection strategies to help countries successfully adapt their pest risk management measures to climate change. -

No results found.Climate change has an impact on plant health. Alterations in weather conditions may lead to biological changes in pests and diseases, and also impact plant physiology and structure, which may increase vulnerability of plants towards pests and diseases. On the other hand, pests and diseases can contribute to climate change by causing tree mortality, which may consequently reduce net carbon sinks. This factsheet explores how climate change is putting plant health at risk, and what the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) is doing to mitigate the impact of climate change on plant health -

No results found.Impact evaluation (IE) enables programme managers and policymakers to plan interventions in a rational and evidence-based manner. While a range of evaluation methods exists, this briefing note provides an overview of rigorous and quantitatively sound IE methods. These methods provide programme managers and policymakers thorough evidence on the impact of adaptation interventions, allowing them to make informed policy choices on adaptation options. By engaging in detailed, evidence-based evaluation, policymakers and programme managers can address critical elements for the formulation and implementation of the National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).
