This video, part of the IPPC's African Phytosanitary Program (APP), offers step-by-step guidance for plant health specialists. It demonstrates how to survey high-risk invasive Bactrocera fruit fly pests using Jackson and multi-lure traps. Proper trapping is crucial for early detection, monitoring, and informed phytosanitary decisions by National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs), safeguarding agricultural production, international trade, and food security.

Inspired by a picture book, Max Romey journeyed to a remote Alaskan beach for marine debris, discovering a more complex story. Five years prior, an ocean plastics cleanup on Kayak Island left him overwhelmed. While the issue remains intricate, sharing the "big picture" now helps him envision collaborative solutions.

In 2012, 14-year-old Laura Dekker embarked on a 518-day solo journey to circumnavigate the globe, aiming to become the youngest person to achieve this feat. Filmmaker Jillian Schlesinger documented her remarkable voyage, which is featured in the full-length documentary "Maidentrip."

Following the route her parents took two decades earlier through French Polynesia, Dekker successfully completed her journey. She currently holds the record as the youngest person to sail around the world by herself.

Plastic pollutants are pervasive, found from the deep sea to the Arctic ice pack. Researchers estimate that by 2050, oceans will contain more plastic—by weight—than fish. These degrading plastics leach toxic chemicals, posing a serious threat to marine life and humans.

Filmmaker Chris Hanson's short film highlights this issue, following 17 Hawaiian students as they study the impact of plastic pollution on their local beaches.

UNEP has partnered with syndicated cartoonist Jim Toomey for a video series addressing ocean litter.

Trash, even from upstream, travels hundreds of miles to remote oceans, causing billions in damage and threatening marine life and human health.

The "Two Minutes on Oceans with Jim Toomey" series uses animation and humor to simplify complex scientific issues for the public. View additional videos at: www.rona.unep.org/toomey

Teenager Madelaine Toomey's story, 'Plastics in Our Oceans,' was conceived.

It was formed during her sailing journey across the Atlantic Ocean.

Join a filmmaker and a world record free-diver on an epic global adventure.

They travel the earth, uncovering the shocking impact of plastic pollution on our oceans and marine life.

"Plastic Pollution, Our Oceans, Our Future," a short film by Christopher Hanson (USA), secured 3rd Prize in the 2016 Film4Climate Global Video Competition, presented by Connect4Climate and partners.

This film features 17 Hawaiian students examining plastic pollution's impact on their beaches and envisioning a sustainable future for the oceans, as Hawaii considers banning single-use polystyrene.

Food systems are crucial for food security, environmental sustainability, and inclusive development, connecting diverse actors across urban and rural areas. However, institutional fragmentation and a lack of multi-sectoral governance prevent cities and their regions from developing coordinated strategies for resilient and equitable food systems.

Sernapesca has launched "Plan Caleta en Línea" in Puerto Cisnes, Aysén, Chile, bringing digital services to over 150 artisanal fishers in isolated communities like Puerto Raúl Marín Balmaceda, Puerto Gala, and Puerto Gaviota. Funded by the GEF Gobernanza Marino Costera (implemented by FAO), the program provides essential equipment including computers, notebooks, and a portable printer.

Fishers can now access services like artisanal fishing registration and quota inquiries via a new platform supporting video calls. Aysén is the first Chilean region to implement such a program, significantly strengthening marine-coastal governance.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Veterinary Association (WVA), and African Veterinary Technicians Association (AVTA) host a webinar on strengthening collaboration between veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals (VPPs) in Nigeria, Uganda, and South Africa. It shares results from FAO’s Empowering Veterinary Paraprofessional Entrepreneurs project.

Vets and VPPs have complementary roles. Stronger collaboration improves service coordination, expands access for livestock farmers, and enhances disease prevention, surveillance, and response. This builds resilient animal health systems, sustainable livestock production, improved livelihoods, and food security.
