Why I Believe in the One Health Approach

Why I Believe in the One Health Approach

As a scientist, I’m deeply aware of the intricate ties between human, animal, and environmental health. The world’s rising health threats—driven by pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss—are stark reminders that we can’t address these issues in isolation.

Environmental pollution is responsible for over 10% of premature deaths in the EU. The health threats posed by?climate change—such as?heatwaves, floods, and climate-sensitive infectious diseases—are already significant in Europe and are expected to increase in the future. Additionally, the rise of antimicrobial resistance poses further challenges. The One Health approach advocates for cross-sector collaboration, bringing together scientists, policymakers, and communities to tackle these interconnected issues at their roots.

For me, One Health isn’t just a framework; it’s a commitment to a healthier, more resilient future.

How can we create a sustainable world in which health is genuinely interconnected?
