Global elimination of dog-mediated human rabies
WHO / OIE Conference on rabies, 10-11 December 2015 Rabies is a 100% preventable disease that still kills tens of thousands of people every year. If not detected and managed quickly, the disease is almost invariably fatal. Over 95% of human cases are caused by the bite of a rabies-infected dog. The vast majority of victims are children living in poor rural areas with little access to health services.

Launch of the FAO's flagship publication “the State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2015 (SOCO)”, which will take place at FAO headquarters, Rome.
This year's SOCO analyzes and offers advice on global food trade patterns and how they can best be governed. What impact will the expected increase in global commerce in farm products have on food security? Do emerging patterns, such as the growing importance of South-South trade, change the terms of international trade and require new rules? Is the issue of free trade versus protection really as simple as often depicted, or are associated policies reflections of underlying levels of development, including access to credit, markets and risk-management tools? The SOCO report explores those questions and offers pragmatic approaches to trade governance, allowing better integration of food security and other development objectives into national policies while at the same time ensuring that trading partners are not detrimentally affected. The report will be available online from 11:00 at http://www.fao.org/publications/soco/en/ Daniel Gustafson, FAO Deputy Director-General Xiaozhun Yi, World Trade Organization Deputy Director-General Maria Laura da Rocha, Permanent Representative of Brazil to FAO and Chairperson, Committee on Commodity Problems Jomo Kwame Sundaram, FAO Assistant Director-General
