World Bee Day - Raising Awareness on the Role of Bees and Pollinators

20 May 2019
10:30 AM-12:30 PM

FAO HEADQUARTERS, SHEIKH ZAYED CENTRE




Bees are among the hardest working creatures on the planet. Bees and other pollinators provide the important ecosystem service of ensuring out-crossing, and thus reproduction and biodiversity of many cultivated and wild plants. A wide variety of plants critical to human well-being and livelihoods require pollinators.



To bring global attention to the importance of bees and other pollinators, in 2017, after three years of efforts led by the Government of Slovenia, the UN General Assembly adopted by consensus a resolution declaring 20 May as World Bee Day and the first observance of World Bee Day was held on 20 May 2018 in Ljubljana, Republic of Slovenia with the participation of the FAO Director-General.

On the occasion of the second observance of World Bee Day, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Slovenia and Apimondia (as the international organization representing the beekeeping sector), will organize a focused event at the Headquarters of FAO to raise awareness of the role of bees and pollinators in food and agriculture. This event will take place in parallel with an observance at the UN Headquarters in New York.

The agenda of the meeting is available at: http://www.fao.org/3/ca4646en/ca4646en.pdf
