As we continue to face multifaceted health, environmental, and climate challenges, the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health has become more evident than ever. The One Health approach, which fosters collaboration across sectors to tackle these complex challenges, is critical to safeguarding the resilience and sustainability of our ecosystems and communities.
SPREP with its sister organisation SPC are working closely together to strengthen the implementation of the integrated One Health approach in the Pacific. One of the focuses of the One Health approach is to strengthen the involvement of the environmental sector due to the effect of the planetary crisis on human health. Thus, the integration of the environment in the one health approach is crucial.
