STPF Affinity Group: One HealthThe One Health Affinity Group (formerly Global Health) strives to advance the understanding and integration of the ways that human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected. According to the Quadripartite (WHO, FAO, WOAH, UNEP), “One Health is a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach that recognizes the interdependence among the health of ecosystems, wild and domestic animals, and humans to achieve resilient and sustainable outcomes across complex systems from local to global levels.” Our group feels strongly that many of the problems facing us today can and should be approached from a One Health perspective. We aim to facilitate conversations that cross sectors and allow collaborations between groups that might not otherwise have thought to work together. |
