Workshop Goals: The 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. 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. 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.
Who Should Attend: This event is for representatives of IPPC contracting parties (national plant protection organizations (NPPOs)), regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs), and invited industry with experience or an interest in systems approaches.
