This document aims to communicate the work of the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures (herein referred to as “the Commission”) and its priorities for the coming ten years. Readers will be able to understand the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), the work carried out by the Commission, what the Commission is trying to achieve, and why it matters. This document will guide the plant health activities of the Commission and its main partners – the national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) of contracting parties and regional plant protection organizations (RPPOs) – over the period 2020 to 2030. Ten years is a long time though, so as the world moves forward the IPPC community is expected to adapt and respond to ensure that it stays on course, not with what is decided today, but with where it needs to be in the future.
