Day 1: Monday, 25 February 2008, morning 9.30 - 12.30 - Opening of the Meeting
- Selection of a chairperson
Session 1: The knowledge base: The effects of climate change on the ecological range and geographic distribution of animal diseases (including diseases of aquatic organisms), plant pests, invasive aquatic species and the effect of climate change on migratory pests. - Climate change and vulnerability to introductions of animal diseases, (including diseases of aquatic organisms), plant pests and invasive aquatic species. (Sutherst)
 - Animal disease and plant pest dynamics and modeling. (Rogers)
- Climate change and locust outbreaks. (Magor)
- Northward distribution range extensions of plant pests, possibly due to climate change: examples in Japan (Yukawa)
- Increasing global trade and climate change: co-factors increasing the international movement and establishment of forest pests. (Evans)
- Linking invasive alien aquatic species, including transboundary fish diseases, and climate change (Soto)
12.30– 14.00 Lunch Break Day 1, Monday 25 February 2008, afternoon 14.00 - 17.00
Session 2: Relating the effects of climate change on transboundary animal diseases, (including diseases of aquatic organisms), transboundary plant pests and invasive aquatic species to food security and international trade. - The relationship between animal diseases (including diseases of aquatic organisms), plant pests and invasive aquatic species and food availability (production) and the effect of climate change on this relationship;
- The relationship between animal diseases (including diseases of aquatic organisms), plant pests and invasive aquatic species and food access (including through international trade) and the effect of climate change on this relationship;
- The relationship between animal diseases, (including diseases of aquatic organisms), plant pests and invasive aquatic species and food security stability (ecological trends, for example increased pesticide use, macro-economic trends, disruption of competitive advantage in trade due to outbreaks) and the effect of climate change on this relationship;
- The relationship between animal diseases (including diseases of aquatic organisms), plant pests and invasive aquatic species and food safety (mycotoxins, pesticide residues) and consumer preferences (for example, organic produce) and the effect of climate change on this relationship.
Day 2: Tuesday, 26 February 2008, morning9.00 - 13.00
Session 3: Based on a regional approach, prepare an indicative list of animal diseases, plant pests and invasive aquatic species posing particular risks, considering their increase of incidence and/or distribution and potential impact as driven by changes in climate.
Session 4: Preventive and adaptive measures.
13.00– 14.00 Lunch Break Day 2: Tuesday 26 February 2008, afternoon14.00 - 17.30
Session 5: Identifying national functions and actors on regulations, their implementation, surveillance, early reaction and control at national level, recommendations on best use of synergies at national level, identification of weaknesses and needs for capacity building - Infrastructure for Animal Health. (Slingenbergh)
- Infrastructure for plant health. (Ivess)
- Animal and Plant Health in Brazil. (Ribeiro e Silva)
- National infrastructure for invasive alien aquatic species. (Hine)
Session 6: The International Research and Regulatory and Information exchange framework, the identification of gaps and overlaps and, if possible, the identification of areas for synergies and the covering of gaps.
Day 3: Wednesday, 27 February 2008, morning10.00 - 13.00
Session 7: General conclusions/recommendations
