One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably protect the health of people, animals, and the environment. It recognizes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment are closely linked and inter-dependent. To tackle threats to health and the environment, the One Health approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at various levels of society to address issues like the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food. It also encourages taking action on climate change and contributing to sustainable development.

Key One Health topics on which we showcase solutions include:

• Anti-microbial resistance
• Animal welfare
• Agriculture and food systems
• Disaster risk management
• Human and veterinary health system strengthening
• Non-communicable diseases
• Neglected tropical diseases
• Wildlife trade
• Health links to ecosystem management, restoration and protection, ecosystem-based adaptation measures, nature-based solutions

One of the main goals of One Health is to foster cross-sectoral collaboration between various sectors. PANORAMA One Health promotes best practices, solutions and lessons learned that facilitate the implementation of a One Health approach. As One Health is an intersectoral approach which spans a broad range of topics and actors, it is key to clarify what constitutes a One Health project or initiative, and to identify key criteria and collaborative approaches accordingly. PANORAMA One Health will help break down silos, create and strengthen synergies between sectors and actors. It will help mainstream One Health as a tool to tackle these issues in a preventative, holistic and transdisciplinary manner.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ GmbH), together with our partners at the World Bank and a wide range of other solution providers and collaborators aim to mainstream the One Health approach worldwide.
