Special Issue of the EPPO Bulletin on Climate Change and Pest Risk Analysis


A Special Issue of the EPPO Bulletin on Climate Change and Pest Risk Analysis has just been published. This issue draws attention to the importance of the effects of climate change on pests which can affect our food security and natural environments. The different papers provide examples of how pests have been observed changing their global distribution in response to climate change, modelling tools incorporating climate change, and an overview of current practices and tools for horizon scanning, and raising awareness. They provide information and guidance on interpreting climate change projections, including interpretating uncertainties, and appropriate communication of projected future pest risks due to climate change, and the importance of integrating climate change into the overall PRA.


The issue is online only, and all papers are Open Access and can be found at the following link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652338/2024/54/S1
