IPPC GLOBAL WORKSHOP ON SYSTEMS APPROACHES

Advancing Understanding and Implementation of Integrated Measures for Pest Risk Management - 1 – 4 December 2025

The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) global workshop on systems approaches aims to deepen knowledge and practical skills for designing, assessing, and implementing integrated pest risk management measures to facilitate safe trade of plants and plant products. This event will provide a platform for national plant protection organizations (NPPOs), regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs), industry representatives, and other interested parties who are considering, or currently developing and implementing, systems approach programs as alternatives to stand-alone measures for ensuring phytosanitary security in the trade of plants and plant products.

Participants will gain a stronger understanding of ISPM 14 (The use of integrated measures in a systems approach for pest risk management) and related IPPC standards, explore real-world examples and case studies, and engage in hands-on exercises using the IPPC Systems Approach Assessment Tools. The workshop will also provide opportunities to discuss challenges, lessons learned, and potential revisions to implementation materials, while promoting collaboration across the global phytosanitary community.
