Enhancing Multi-Sector Collaboration and Integrating Nature-Based Solutions for Better One Health Policy Outcomes
摘要
This paper explores the critical role of multi-sector collaboration and integrated interventions within the One Health approach. It highlights the barriers hindering effective collaboration, such as siloed disciplines and sectors, differing priorities, operating within available resources, and institutional fragmentation.
Recent FindingsThe paper emphasizes strategies for overcoming these barriers, including fostering communication, inclusive governance, developing coordinated, multi sectoral surveillance systems, and aligning policies across sectors. Additionally, it examines the potential of nature-based solutions as a powerful tool to address One Health challenges. Nature-based solutions, which involve ecosystem protection and restoration, offer a sustainable way to mitigate zoonotic diseases, enhance biodiversity, and improve human and environmental health outcomes.
SummaryThe paper concludes that improved collaboration, the integration of nature-based solutions, and effective One Health governance can lead to more sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient solutions to global health and environmental challenges, ultimately advancing the goals of One Health and improving health outcomes for people, animals, plants, and our environment.
