One Earth – One Health: how can we mitigate future pandemics?

The event will focus on the need for a ‘One Health’ approach, particularly at a national level in response to the emergence of Covid-19. Experts will present the drivers behind emerging infectious diseases, and their impacts upon human health and the environment and wildlife. A moderated expert panel will then discuss priority solutions at a national level in line with a ‘One Health’ approach that are needed in order to prevent and mitigate the impacts from future pandemics. Finally, the role IUCN's One Programme can play in supporting the implementation of these priority actions at a national level will be identified. Opportunities for new actions and partnerships will be identified.
