Descripción
The Iguaçu Statement is a global call to action to address the growing threat of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI). Uniting representatives from governments, international organizations, scientific institutions, civil society, and the private sector, the statement outlines a shared commitment to prevent HPAI by building robust systems for early detection and rapid control, protect poultry and egg value chains, livelihoods, and trade, and transform poultry systems to be resilient, sustainable, and ready to meet future demands. It emphasizes the importance of surveillance and early detection, biosecurity, and rapid control measures for poultry, wildlife, and human populations. Key actions include integrating the Global Strategy into national plans by 2026, establishing dedicated funding, harmonizing regional protocols, and ensuring transparent outbreak reporting. The Statement urges governments, regional bodies, private sector actors, and resource partners to collaborate on surveillance, emergency response, research, and financing mechanisms to mitigate HPAI risks. This collective commitment underscores that words alone are not enough and the global community pledges to turn commitments into measurable actions, protecting animals, people, and the planet from HPAI’s devastating impacts.
