Launching and Celebrating the 2025

10th Annual Global ONE HEALTH DAY

Officially celebrated November 3 each year

And

Announcing the 2024 One Health Day

STUDENT EVENTS Competition Winner

Created in 2016, 2025 marks the 10th annual global One Health Day that has provided an opportunity for organizations, groups and individuals around the world to hold hundreds of events raising awareness about One Health* and the complex challenges it addresses at the interface of animals, plants, humans and the environment. This special day gives One Health advocates and practitioners around the world a powerful voice for moving beyond provincial approaches to emerging zoonotic infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, climate change, environmental pollution, food safety, comparative research and translational medicine and many other challenges, towards a holistic, One Health, way of thinking, acting and decision making for the benefit of All.

Just as no one person, profession or discipline owns One Health, No One Organization 'owns' One Health Day. It belongs to the international One Health movement and community. It was spearheaded in 2016 and continues to be hosted by the One Health Commission in promotional partnership with the One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono Team and the Global One Health Community.

Event Descriptions and Maps provide impressive examples of how the world is embracing and advocating for One Health with over 1100 events registered around the globe in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. And we know there have been many more such events at local, national and regional levels that did not get registered and added to the maps.

Anyone, from academic, government or corporate organizations to private individuals and groups, can plan, implement and Register one or more One Health Day events each year. These events do not have to fall right on 3 November but can occur any time of the year. Online registration to get a pin on the global One Health Day map each year is free and free use of the One Health Day fliers and logos in many languages is encouraged. Let us know (ohc@onehealthcommission.org) if you would like to help prepare a One Health Day Logo in 'your' preferred language and Remember!! to Register your event(s) to get on the map!!!

This message is a One Health Day 2025, 10th Anniversary ‘Call to Action’ encouraging more events than ever to be brought forward this year. And, once again, in 2025 there will be one Student Event cash award of $1,000. (See the One Health Day Student Competition webpage.)
