Publisher's Synopsis
The book One Health Approach - Advancing Global Health Security with the Sustainable Development Goals explores the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in addressing the world's most pressing health challenges. The One Health framework recognizes that the health of people, animals, and ecosystems is deeply intertwined and that effective solutions to global health risks-such as zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental degradation-require coordinated efforts across these sectors. This book provides an in-depth examination of the One Health approach and its potential to advance global health security while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through comprehensive insights from experts, it highlights the challenges of measuring One Health's impact, proposing practical solutions to strengthen data collection and evaluation. The book explores how integrating the One Health perspective into public health strategies can help manage emerging infectious diseases and prevent future outbreaks. As more countries adopt this holistic approach, the book underscores the importance of evidence-based decision-making and cross-sector collaboration. With contributions from a diverse range of professionals, this book serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, public health practitioners, and students. By promoting a deeper understanding of the links between human, animal, and environmental health, The One Health Approach offers a roadmap for advancing global health security and building a sustainable, healthier future for all. I hope this book will inspire continued collaboration across disciplines and regions, strengthening the One Health approaches for advancing global health security with sustainable development goals to address the shared health challenges of today and tomorrow.
