IYPH Technical Advisory Board

The 2015 Commission of Phytosanitary Measures (CPM-10) supported the proposal by Finland to establish an International Year of Plant Health (IYPH) in 2020. The following year, CPM-11 agreed to establish an IPPC IYPH Steering Committee.

> See the IPPC IYPH Steering Committee's Terms of Reference

After the official proclamation of the International Year of Plant Health, the Steering Committee became the IYPH Technical Advisory Board (IYPH TAB) and a new Steering Committee was formed. The IYPH TAB provides knowledge and expertise to the new IYPH International Steering Committee. It also helps develop communication materials and serves as a programme committee for the International Plant Health Conference (IPHC) which will be hosted by Finland from 5 to 8 October 2020.

Membership

The IYPH TAB is composed of up to 25 members, including:

• 1 member and 1 alternate from IPPC contracting parties in each of the seven FAO regions
• 5 to 7 members from partner organizations, including regional plant protection organizations
• 3 representatives from IPPC governance and subsidiary bodies
• 1 representative from the IPPC Secretariat.
