One Health and Climate Change: Exploring Pathogens, Parasites, and Vectors

The Arqus Climate Change and Sustainable Development Living Lab will organise an online scientific symposium on 17 June. Titled “One Health and Pathogens, Parasites, and Vectors”, this one-day event will explore the One Health approach in the context of climate change, with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance, vector-borne pathogens, parasites, and microbial biodiversity. 

Arqus researchers, students and professionals are invited to attend this online symposium and workshop. The deadline to register is 16 June. The symposium “One Health and Pathogens, Parasites, and Vectors” is designed to foster transdisciplinary collaboration, the symposium aims to spark innovative research ideas and lay the foundation for joint grant proposals in this critical and evolving field.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their research areas and methodologies. Due to time constraints, the number of presentations will be determined based on the volume of submissions.

What is One Health?

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach that recognises the deep interconnection between human, animal and environmental health. It emphasises that the well-being of people is inseparable from the health of animals and the ecosystems we all share.

In the face of climate change, emerging infectious diseases, including mosquito- and tick-borne infections, and rising AMR, the One Health approach is more vital than ever. It empowers scientists, policymakers, and practitioners to work together across disciplines to:

• Detect and prevent disease outbreaks
• Understand how environmental changes affect disease dynamics
• Promote sustainable and resilient health systems
• Develop integrated solutions to global health challenges
