Preventing pesticide suicide has been a priority of FAO and WHO pesticide management programmes for many years. A technical document, ʻPreventing suicide: a resource for pesticide registrars and regulatorsʼ was published in 2019.
Recently the ʻGuidance on use of pesticide regulation to prevent suicideʼ was developed and published the by FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM). This document provides guidance, particularly for low and middle income countries, on best practices in using regulation to prevent suicides with agricultural pesticides.
This joint FAO and WHO webinar will present the topic of pesticide suicide prevention, share success stories, introduce the guidance and discuss future actions.
The event will be conducted in English.
