Cities unite to put One Health into action

8th April 2026

Summary:
Cities around the world are coming together to implement the One Health approach, recognising the critical role urban areas play in addressing interconnected health challenges. The initiative focuses on strengthening collaboration across sectors such as public health, veterinary services and environmental management to better prevent and respond to risks including infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance and the impacts of climate change. By embedding One Health principles into city planning and policy, participating cities aim to create healthier, more resilient communities while contributing to global efforts to manage complex health threats through coordinated, cross-sector action.
