Introduction
The interconnection between environment, energy, animal health, public health, epidemiology, vaccination, agriculture, fisheries, livestock production, and food safety is crucial to understanding the concept of "One Health" and "Global Health". Recent epidemiological research has shown that a significant proportion of human pathogens originate from animals and that a high percentage of emerging animal diseases can be transmitted to humans, highlighting the zoonotic nature of these diseases.
To address this, organizations such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), and the World Health Organization (WHO) have committed to implementing a coordination mechanism based on the "One Health" approach. This approach aims to enhance multi-sectoral coordination and efforts to combat threats to public health arising from interactions between humans, animals, and the environment. These sessions will delve into the social determinants of health, the demographic challenges posed by migration and transit, global vaccination.
Key themes to be addressed:
1. Interconnection between environment, energy, animal health, public health, epidemiology, vaccination, agriculture, fisheries, livestock production, and food safety.
2. The zoonotic nature of diseases and the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of health.
3. The impact of social determinants of health, migration, and transit on global health.
4. Importance of multi-sectoral coordination and efforts to combat threats to public health arising from interactions between humans, animals, and the environment.
5. The role of organizations such as the UN FAO, WOAH, WHO and UNEP in implementing the "One Health" approach.
6. The importance of global vaccination in maintaining public health.
