Pest Outbreak Alert and Response Systems (POARS)
The Pest Outbreak Alert and Response Systems (POARS) strengthen global phytosanitary capacity by improving early detection, enabling faster and coordinated responses, and fostering international collaboration to reduce the impact of emerging pests on agriculture, trade, and ecosystems.
In 2025, POARS enters a pilot phase to test the alert system, the emerging pest identification framework, and targeted prevention, preparedness, and response activities.
