Abstract
The world is facing interconnected crises: pandemics, inequities, climate change, and biodiversity loss. The One Health approach, recognizing links between human, animal, plant, and environmental health, offers solutions. Benefits include reducing zoonotic risks and improving surveillance through collaboration, equity, and stakeholder engagement. Endorsed internationally, the approach has recognized economic benefits through prevention. Consistent integration, capacity building, interdisciplinary teamwork, and Indigenous knowledge inclusion are crucial, and expanding the application to address antimicrobial resistance and food systems is necessary. Recognizing interdependencies and multisectoral cooperation through a One Health lens can lead to efficient and equitable solutions and contribute to sustainable development.
