  • GEO-6 Assessment for the pan-European region

    The sixth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-6) Assessment for the pan-European region can be downloaded from http://uneplive.unep.org/media/docs/assessments/GEO_6_Assessment_pan_European_region.pdf

    NEOH member Prof Richard Kock was lead author on Chapters 1 and 4 and co-lead on chapter 2. In this role he had the opportunity to build One Health themes into the Health and land (agriculture) chapter.

    The document was produced by UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme).
    UNEP convenes science–policy forums in many ways including through the co-design and co-production of research activities and assessments and the exchange of knowledge. The credible scientific information from such processes is essential for informed policy formulation and implementation and strengthens collaboration between research disciplines and public administrations to find solutions for environmental challenges.

  • Where to Now for One Health and Ecohealth?

    A new One Health paper has been published in the journal EcoHealth:

    Emma Mi,  Ella Mi, Martyn Jeggo, Where to Now for One Health and Ecohealth? EcoHealth 13, 12–17, 2016. DOI: 10.1007/s10393-016-1112-1

    This paper explores the possibilities for further convergence or unity of One Health and Ecohealth.

    Potential advantages include “improved understanding and management of health issues, reciprocal adoption of good practices, economic gains and greater advocacy power”

    Barriers include “conceptually narrow practices, reluctance to abandon the banners of ‘One Health’ and ‘Ecohealth’, cultural differences between the groups and difficulty in engaging the medical profession”
