Les incidences des changements climatiques sur les risques concernant la sécurité sanitaire des produits alimentaires, la santé des animaux et la préservation des végétaux représentent un domaine d'étude relativement nouveau. Cependant, les preuves fournies par des études récentes sont sans ambiguïté: les changements climatiques sont l'un des différents facteurs de changement global qui contribuent à accroître les risques en matière de sécurité sanitaire des produits alimentaires, de santé des animaux et de préservation des végétaux, et à en créer de nouveaux.
Exploring the Impact of Climate Change on the Global Food System: During Climate Change Week at the STDF, a series of four inter-connected webinars brought together partners and stakeholders on the ground to explore the impact of climate change on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) issues, and identify opportunities to respond to emerging risks and facilitate safe trade. For more information on each session, including speakers and topic angles, visit the webinar webpage. An overview of climate change-related work by the STDF and its partners is available HERE.
Climate change, sanitary and phytosanitary measures and agricultural trade: The STDF has contributed to this background paper by FAO for the State of Agricultural Commodity Markets (SOCO) 2018. The paper sets out the linkages between climate change, agricultural trade and SPS measures and key recommendations on how to overcome the SPS threats posed by climate change.
- Publication on climate change and trade: This paper seeks to raise awareness about issues related to SPS risks and standards in the context of agri-food trade and climate change. It analyses the scientific understanding of the relationship between climate change, food safety, plant pests, animal diseases and trade, and it identifies and discusses four key areas for future policy consideration, notably risk assessment, SPS capacity in developing countries, climate change resilience and basic research challenges.
