The most prominent environmental harm caused by wildlife crime and related illegal wildlife trade is degradation of the world’s biological diversity through overexploitation, resulting in population reduction and extinction threats to wild species. Species diversity is a critical aspect of the functioning ecosystems that support all life on earth. The threat of species overexploitation was identified as the second most significant driver of global biodiversity loss after landuse change by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Concern about overexploitation motivates much of the national legislation affecting wildlife trade worldwide and it is the rationale for the international trade regulation measures now subscribed to by 184 states that are contracting Parties to CITES.

The impact and warm of wildlife crime - 2024 World Wildlife Crime Report.

Christina Parmionova

Wildlife trafficking impacts a very wide range of species of wild animals, plants and fungi, traded locally for domestic use and to international markets. It encompasses a diverse range of commodities, including those used for food, medicine, construction, adornment, display and keeping as live specimens. It includes trafficking in contravention of laws governing large volume and high value natural resource trade sectors, such as those producing timber and fisheries goods. Although sometimes perceived as somehow distinct from other wildlife trade sectors, most food fisheries still come from wild sources, and most timber comes from natural forests rather than plantations, including from illegal sources (Box 2.1). In practice, most of the analysis in this and previous editions of the World Wildlife Crime Report focuses on the trafficking of species subject to trade regulation under CITES.

World Wildlife Crime Report 2024 - Introduction

Christina Parmionova

- KEY MESSAGES - 1.Wildlife trafficking persists worldwide despite two decades of concerted action at international and national levels—more rapid and measurable progress could be achieved if interventions were informed by stronger scientific evidence. 2. With thousands of wildlife species affected and a diverse range of distinct markets driving multiple environmental and societal harms, interventions to reduce wildlife trafficking need to be prioritized and more strategic. 3. Corruption undermines regulation and enforcement while technology accelerates the capacity of traffickers to reach global markets—criminal justice responses should be modernized, strengthened and harmonized from source to end markets. 4. Wildlife crime is interconnected with the activities of large and powerful organized crime groups operating in some of the most fragile and diverse ecosystems from the Amazon to the Golden Triangle— addressing wildlife trafficking in these circumstances requires a broader strategy to address organized crime as a whole. Summary, conclusions, and policy implications

Having products that are safe, and whose performance has been assessed and conditions of use specified (taking into account progress in knowledge, diversity and any specific aspects of crop situations) is a major issue for farmers, consumers, industry and the environment. The use of plant protection products may cause direct or indirect risks to humans, whether this be the user or the general population, as well as to ecosystems. Assessing pesticides before they can be placed on the market, and monitoring them post-authorisation, are vital to public and environmental health.

Healthy plants constitute the foundation for all life on Earth, as well as ecosystem functions, food security and nutrition. The topics are: 1) E-commerce: Managing pest risks in the postal pathway. 2) Experiences of Digitizing official Inspection and Certification Systems to enhance SPS compliance for Horticulture exports in Uganda; 3) Going paperless: Moving to digital phytosanitary certificates for safer trade; 4) Sea containers as pathways for pests and IPPC’s work to prevent pest spread and 5) Questions and answers. Plant health is key to the sustainable development of agriculture required to feed a growing global population by 2050

The path to achieving quality UHC and realizing the economic and social benefits that entails, are intricately linked to the empowerment and expansion of the nursing workforce. By prioritizing investments in nursing, societies can make significant strides towards a healthier, more prosperous global community. This IND report provides numerous economic arguments by leading experts that can be summed up in the following four key themes that continue to build on each other: 1. Creating decent jobs to contribute to societal good. 2. Building the workforce to achieve UHC. 3. Optimizing the use of resources to improve health system effectiveness and efficiency. 4. Investing in health for economic and social prosperity

Our nurses, our future. The economic power of care.

Christina Parmionova

Nurses provide care and leadership to address global health challenges everywhere, often at great personal risk. They are the essential life force for health, yet our healthcare systems worldwide have fallen short and failed to value, protect, respect and invest in this precious resource. The world has mistakenly taken nurses for granted, treating them as an invisible and inexhaustible resource. That must now stop for the sake of nurses and global health. Nurses are key to healthier communities, responsive societies, thriving economies and powerful nations. Now is the time for policy makers, national and local decision-makers to take decisive steps to build and optimise an enduring, strong and sustainable nursing workforce. The International Council of Nurses’ Charter for Change presents 10 policy actions that governments and employers must take to create and sustain health care systems that are safe, affordable, accessible, and responsive and shift nurses from being invisible to invaluable
