Why attend
This event will outline how approaches addressing environmental, animal and human health together can tackle the global health, biodiversity and climate crises, with inspiring examples from active projects on the ground. It will highlight the set up of governance, interdisciplinary dialogue and action on a global to local scale.
Session Description
This session explores the interlinkages between biodiversity, health and climate change, and offers solutions in the form of an integrated One Health approach woven into the conservation agenda. This session will build on the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action which recognises the need for deeper understanding and elevation of the importance of environmental health (Action Track 6) to achieve human and animal health goals.One health is a key element of the IUCN Nature 2030 program, which supports building new networks between public health practitioners, agriculturalists, planners, regulators and conservationists. This session can assist to inform the program, and support implementation of the CBD Global Action Plan on Biodiversity and Health, by providing examples of collaborative, transdisciplinary One Health programs designed to reduce the nature based drivers of disease through early pathogen warning and monitoring, the creation of landscape immunity, sustainable livestock management, preventive medicine and behavioural change.
