The One Health Hub is a knowledge, evidence, and learning platform that promotes a cross-sectoral One Health agenda encompassing human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health. It identifies gaps in knowledge, analyses evidence, and helps to shape policies for a more interconnected approach to health.
The platform works with global and regional organizations to help mainstream a One Health approach in sustainable development. It also supports global development initiatives by helping them to embed One Health thinking in their programming.
The One Health Hub is managed by CABI with funding from UK International Development from the UK government, and works in partnership with the Juno Evidence Alliance.
One Health is a multi-sectoral, unifying approach designed to optimize the health of people, animals, plants, ecosystems and the environment they share.
It is based on the observation that the health of humans, animals, plants, and the wider environment is closely linked and interdependent. This interdependency means that no single discipline or sector can tackle threats to health that occur at the interface between humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems in isolation.
While the One Health approach is often associated with zoonotic disease and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), it is relevant to a much wider range of health issues. However, One Health should not be seen as a silver bullet solution to all health challenges, as many are not at the interface between sectors.
There have been difficulties translating One Health from ideas into practice, and many barriers still exist to operationalising the concept effectively. Nonetheless, the One Health concept continues to gather significant momentum across the globe.
Learn more about One Health
The One Health Hub has produced an explainer introducing the concept of One Health. This explainer covers the key ideas, origins, actors, and debates, outlining One Health’s advantages relative to sectoral approaches to tackling today’s health threats.
The cases at the end of the explainer provide additional examples of the added value of taking a One Health approach to address some of today’s most pressing health issues.
