Ambitious One Health Joint Action Plan launched to address global health threats

On Oct. 17, a new One Health Joint Plan of Action was launched by the Quadripartite – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Environment Program, the World Health Organization, and the World Organization for Animal Health.

This first joint plan on One Health aims to create a framework to integrate systems and capacity to better prevent, predict, detect and respond to health threats, according to a news release. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment, while contributing to sustainable development.

The five-year plan — with a timeline from 2022 to 2026 — focuses on supporting and expanding capacities in six areas: One Health capacities for health systems, emerging and re-emerging zoonotic epidemics, endemic zoonotic, neglected tropical and vector-borne diseases, food safety risks, antimicrobial resistance and the environment.

The technical document relies on evidence, best practices and existing guidance. It covers a set of actions which endeavor to advance One Health at global, regional and national levels.

These actions notably include the development of an upcoming implementation guidance for countries, international partners, and non-State actors such as civil society organizations, professional associations, academia and research institutions.
