Happy One Health Day 2024! One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent. The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines, and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for healthy food, water, energy, and air, taking action on climate change and contributing to sustainable development. #OneHealthDay #OneHealth #OHHLEP https://lnkd.in/g3USRKf3

Did you know that Nov. 3 marked One Health Day? 75% of new infectious diseases originated from animals and are passed on to humans. This fact emphasizes the importance of the One Health model. One Health Day serves as an opportunity to acknowledge those who lead the way in integrating human, animal, and environmental health strategies. In areas with high levels of interaction between these sectors, using a collaborative approach is crucial for effective disease monitoring and management. By focusing on partnerships that cut across different sectors, leaders can enhance health security, boosting public safety, and promoting sustainable practices. We're proud to support the organizations that improve the wellbeing of our planet's inhabitants: https://lnkd.in/ga2wuddc Who is a One Health Leader you celebrate? #OneHealth #GlobalHealth #LeadershipInAction #WittKieffer

The deadly floods in Valencia show once again the catastrophic effects of climate change. Our health and the health of animals and ecosystems are interconnected. We have seen it with the spread of many types of infectious diseases, as was highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increase of vector-borne diseases like dengue, also spreading in Europe. An integrated One Health approach addresses these linkages and vulnerabilities through multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary collaboration; strengthening prevention and preparedness capacities through data and research; sustainable financing and capacity building. #OneHealth #HealthUnion
What do human, animal, and plant health have in common? They’re all part of the #OneHealth approach—a recognition of their interdependency and key role in: 🔹 ensuring global health security, 🔹 preventing new disease outbreaks 🔹 ensuring sustainable food systems 🔹 protecting biodiversity On World #OneHealth Day, we’re highlighting how closely human, animal, and environmental health are linked when it comes to tackling global health challenges and how protecting one means protecting them all. 💡 So why is the One Health approach so important? Let’s take a look at some key figures: - Around 75% of emerging infectious diseases in humans have originated in animals. - Deadly floods across Central and Southern Europe show us that the impact of climate change on human health is already devastating. - Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes roughly 700 000 deaths worldwide today – a figure that could rise to 10 million a year within a generation. - Air pollution is the largest environmental health risk in Europe, causing hundreds of thousands of premature deaths a year. The One Health approach is essential in strengthening EU’s readiness to prevent, predict, detect and respond to global health threats, thus contributing to a stronger European #HealthUnion.

One Health Day - 3 November. With rapid population growth, globalization and environmental degradation, health threats have become more complex. Solutions cannot be found by one sector alone. The One Health approach leverages the idea that problems impacting human health, animals, plants and the environment can be effectively resolved through improved coordination, communication and collaborative actions across disciplines and that these solutions be sustainable. One Health Day is an international campaign that celebrates the need for a One Health approach to address shared health threats at the human-animal-environment interface. The day is observed on 3 November each year. The One Health approach recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment are interconnected. This means that threats to one can quickly become threats to all. For example, a new zoonotic disease that emerges in animals can quickly spread to humans, and environmental degradation can lead to the spread of vector-borne diseases. One Health Day is a time to raise awareness of the One Health approach and to celebrate the work of those who are working to protect the health of people, animals, and the environment. The day also provides an opportunity to learn more about the One Health approach and how individuals can get involved.
