Dear Colleagues,

Get ready for the International Day of Plant Health (IDPH) on 12 May 2025!

JOIN us in raising global awareness on the crucial role of plant health in food security, environmental protection and safe trade. With the theme, “The importance of plant health in One Health,” we will put a spotlight on how healthy plants are necessary and critical to the health of humans, animals and the environment.

START preparing your IDPH activities now by using the Get Involved Guide available in six languages. For inspiration, see how countries all over the world observed IDPH in the past through these Impact Reports in 2023 and 2024.

GET young children curious and engaged with plant health through the Activity Book: Healthy Plants, Health Planet which is available in ten languages.

Watch out for more information and promotional materials that you can use in the coming weeks on the official campaign website.

For further information, send us an email at [email protected].

When we protect plants, we protect life!

Best regards,
IPPC Secretariat
