Global seminar on strengthening regulations to protect pollinators from pesticides
23-24 February 2022
The Global seminar on strengthening regulations to protect pollinators from pesticides was organized by FAO to promote a dialogue among policy makers and regulators on options to strengthen legislation to protect pollinators from pesticides, with a particular focus on low and middle income countries. Almost 700 participants from all corners of the world took part in the event, together with 21 speakers and 3 expert panels, in 2 plenary and 4 parallel sessions.
We were part of the organizing team and facilitated one of the parallel sessions.
Two reviews were commisioned in preparation of the Global Seminar. One on existing legislation to protect pollinators from pesticides in selected countries; and a second one about approaches to the environmental risk assessment (ERA) for bees and other pollinators.
The Global seminar resulted in a policy brief identifying priorities for action to protect pollinators from pesticides.
