We join the Geneva Environment Network’s High-Level 25th Anniversary celebration on January 20, 2025, at the International Environment House in Geneva, coordinating the cluster on “Advancing the One Health Approach” to highlight the impact of multilateralism and international Geneva.
The One Health approach recognizes the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health, making it indispensable for addressing global challenges. From zoonotic diseases and food security to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), pollution, and climate change, One Health is a unifying framework for tackling our world’s most pressing issues.
The Role of the Geneva Environment Network
The Geneva Environment Network plays a vital role in addressing the environmental drivers of health crises and advancing One Health principles. Its work highlights how climate change, pollution mitigation, and biodiversity loss influence global health and demonstrates innovative strategies for addressing these challenges.
These efforts align with the work of Quadripartite collaboration between WHO, WOAH, FAO, and UNEP, demonstrating the importance of collective action across health, agriculture, and environmental sectors.
Strengthening Multilateralism and Health Diplomacy
In International Geneva, multilateralism is key to the success of the One Health approach. Platforms like GEN have fostered collaboration among diverse stakeholders, bridging sectors and regions to find global solutions. Health diplomacy plays a critical role in:
- Coordinating international efforts to address AMR, zoonotic diseases, and other One Health challenges.
- Promoting integrative policies that link health and environmental sustainability.
- Advancing sustainable development through evidence-based approaches.
Our booth at the event will feature case studies and interactive exhibits to demonstrate the power of multilateral collaboration in achieving One Health goals.
