EMD Seminar Series: Jakob Zinsstag - "One Health: The edge of integrated approaches to health and sustainable natural resources management"

Since the beginning of the 21st century, ecosystem approaches to health (EcoHealth), One Health and Planetary Health have emerged as integrated approaches that relate to and expand public health and related fields. Here, we aim at clarifying their respective definitions, philosophical foundations and methodological positions. This clarification is important because the way we define integrated approaches to health shapes research, teaching methods and their translation into policy and practice. Key methods and case studies are summarized and compared. Among the three integrated approaches, EcoHealth and Planetary Health operate largely in academic networks and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). One Health is currently operationalized at the level of international organizations, regional organizations and national governments.
