To address these challenges, Director-General Qu Dongyu launched the Global Action on FallArmyworm Control in 2019 to coordinate efforts while adopting an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. Since then, FAO has been working with stakeholders andpartners through this programme to reach impact on a scale – at global, regional and national levels. Outcomes were showcased at the FAO Global Symposiumon Sustainable Fall Armyworm Management held in Beijing, China, from 31 October to 2 November 2023. The symposium focused on "Charting a global response tofuture invasive pests" and brought together more than 40 speakers and 200 worldwide participants. They shared their best practices and exchanged valuable knowledge,drawing lessons from the past and laying a robust foundation for the active prevention and sustainable response to future biological invasions.
