FAO Headquarters, Rome, 5 to 6 November 2026

FAO and Apimondia have joined forces to make the Global Pollinator Conference possible.

Beekeepers are on the front line of pollinator health. Every day they see the effects of habitat loss, pesticides, pests, diseases and climate change on their colonies.

The conference will shape the Global Pollinator Platform, a new mechanism for coordinated global action on pollinator conservation and sustainable management. The decisions taken in Rome will influence the policies, research and support that affect beekeepers’ work for years to come.
