One Health - An Information Statement of the American Meteorological Society (Adopted by the AMS Council 4 January 2015) https://www.ametsoc.org/ams/index.cfm/about-ams/ams-statements/statements-of-the-ams-in-force/one-health/ One Health recognizes that the health of humans, other animals, and ecosystems is interconnected.  It involves applying a coordinated, collaborative, multidisciplinary, and cross-sector approach to address potential or existing risks that originate at the interface of humans, other animals, and ecosystems1. Because weather and climate affect the health and well-being of humans, other animals, and ecosystems, meteorologists and climate scientists bring fundamental knowledge, skills, and experiences that can improve health today and throughout the coming decades. Understanding and managing human health and well-being requires cross-disciplinary efforts due to the complexity of the interrelationships within and between Earth and human environments.  The health of Earth’s ecological and physical systems is fundamental to the health and well-being of humans and other animals.  Tackling threats to health in the twenty-first century requires the collaborative effort of multiple disciplines to understand the intricate web of sometimes competing relationships that lead to good or poor health and how those relationships might vary and interact over various time and geographical scales.  In addition to natural and physical factors, social behavior and demographic patterns also affect impacts.  The cross-disciplinary knowledge gained can be used to design, implement, and monitor interventions to improve current and future health. Weather and climate have been and will continue to be major influences on human, other animal, and ecosystem health.  For example, as average global temperatures fell in the Little Ice Age, starting in the early seventeenth century, extreme climate events caused harvest failures and frequent disease epidemics, often with disastrous consequences at local scales.  Research on historical records and recent observations demonstrate that temperature extremes, changes in precipitation patterns, alterations in other weather variables, and sea level rise can directly affect human health.  Indirect health influences can arise from ecological disruptions caused by a changing climate, ocean acidification, or societal responses to changing weather patterns. Integrated datasets matching data on humans, other animals, and ecosystems, together with weather and climate information, are needed to inform the public and develop health and environmental policies to reduce morbidity and mortality.  This requires enhanced data and information sharing across disciplines and agencies.  Improved understanding of the onset, duration, and severity of El Niño–Southern Oscillation events supports predictions of drought conditions, which in turn enables earlier responses to the threat of famine and changes in marine food supply.  Similarly, more robust forecasting of hot and dry conditions leads to improved early warnings for heatwaves, airborne dust, and wildfires.  The developing ability to predict climate patterns on decadal or longer time scales provides the basis for predictions of changes in spatial and seasonal patterns of infectious diseases. Effective early warning and response systems require collaboration among climate/weather scientists, oceanographers, epidemiologists, public health agencies, and social and political scientists.  Weather and climate forecasts alone are at once crucial and yet insufficient for effective public response.  Developing early warning and response systems requires close linkages among scientists with expertise in climate, weather, and hydrology and those tasked with conducting research and establishing public health policy.  Input is needed from social science because health outcomes are mediated through political and social contexts and responses.  Optimal outcomes can be achieved only by integrating physical and health science, social and political science, and urban and environmental planning.  Because combining data from different sources is an essential step in developing effective early warning and response systems, barriers restricting access to these data need to be resolved in order to facilitate interdisciplinary analysis and coproduction of knowledge.  These are shared challenges to which AMS scientists are able to contribute. Climate change will bring new challenges for the health of humans, other animals, and ecosystems that will require further integration across disciplines.  Changing weather patterns and hydrologic systems, sea level rise, and ocean acidification can directly affect the habitable zone not only of plants and animals, but also of vectors that carry infectious diseases and of the pathogens themselves.  Indirectly, climate change can alter ecosystems, increase competition for resources, particularly freshwater availability, and affect the timing and patterns of animal migration.  All these changes will alter disease burdens, including the possibility of causing the emergence of diseases in new locations, and at different times, thus increasing the risks of adverse outcomes for highly vulnerable human, other animal, and plant populations.  Understanding and preparing for these risks requires multidisciplinary systems–based research and policy intervention. Opportunities abound for AMS members to participate in One Health research.  AMS members possess the requisite weather, climate, hydrological, and oceanographic expertise and knowledge essential to foster the interdisciplinary research needed for One Health.   Collectively, members have a deep understanding of the land–atmosphere–ocean system on daily, seasonal, and interdecadal timescales, including associated projections and uncertainties.  Thus, AMS members are equipped to combine their skills and knowledge of the physical land–atmosphere–ocean system with the skills and knowledge of medical, public health, and veterinary scientists, ecologists, and social scientists.  Doing so will enhance our ability to understand, predict, and avert risks that arise from the interconnections among the health of humans, other animals, and ecosystems.

“Global Government Forum is the world’s leading network for government news, best practice and interviews with senior government leaders across the globe. The network is comprised of over 220,000 senior government leaders and read in over 200 countries and territories. Supporting communication across this community helps address the real challenges of today and shape public services of the future.” Simon Kennedy, Deputy Minister, Health Canada: Exclusive Interview ...references using a “One Health” approach... By Matt Ross on 16/01/2017 http://www.globalgovernmentforum.com/simon-kennedy-deputy-minister-health-canada-exclusive-interview/ “... In many countries, health officials pushing for tighter controls on the use of drugs in farming would encounter fierce resistance from their colleagues in the agriculture department – but in Canada, Kennedy points out, animal health is regulated by the Food Inspection Agency: an arm of Health Canada. “So the minister of health has a role in both human and animal health,” he observes. “That gives us a bit of an advantage in applying a ‘one health’ approach to the issue of antimicrobials.” What are the biggest global challenges in your field over the next couple of years? “Well, there’s a number. One of them is the issue of anti-microbial resistance: the WHO estimates about 480,000 people develop multi-drug-resistant TB each year. This is a really serious emerging problem, and certainly something that in Canada we take very seriously. We have developed an action plan on antimicrobial resistance, looking not just at human health but obviously animal health issues because agriculture is a big part of this. ...

  Special Advisor Minister to Prime Minister of Ethiopia Endorses One Health   On December 30, 2016, Dr. Laura H. Kahn [MD, MPH, MPP], a co-founder of the One Health Initiative team, received a One Health Endorsement letter from Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Minister and Special Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ethiopia.  Dr. Ghebreyesus has been endorsed by the African Union as a candidate for the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO).   Dear colleagues, In today’s increasingly interconnected world, public health emergencies can affect anyone, anywhere. The development of resilient and robust global and local health systems capable of preventing, detecting and responding to public health emergencies must therefore be a key priority. For these systems to be effective, it is critical to recognize that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment. The global journey towards a safer and healthier world will be realized if we encourage collaborative efforts of multiple sectors and disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally-to achieve the best health for people, animals, and our environment. As a strong believer in the need for everyone to come together for a healthier world, it is my honor to express my support for the One Health Initiative and stand here as a champion of the “One Health” approach at all levels. A one health approach is not only the right thing to do but also it is the smartest investment to address the challenges of infectious disease.   Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (PhD) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tedros_Adhanom] Minister, Special Advisor to Prime Minister of Ethiopia African Union Endorsed Candidate for Director General of WHO

Posted One Health Initiative website Wednesday, December 21, 2016  2nd World Veterinary Association/World Medical Association GLOBAL CONFERENCE ON ONE HEALTH   Moving forward from One Health Concept to One Health Approach 10 -11th November 2016 Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan   SEE complete Summary http://www.worldvet.org/uploads/docs/2gcoh_japan_summary_2016.pdf   “The 2GCOH resulted in the historic signature on the Memorandum of Fukuoka by WVA, WMA, JMA and JMVA. The 4 associations agreed to move from the validation and recognition stage of the “One Health Concept”, to the practical implementation stage:   i. Physicians and veterinarians shall promote the exchange of information aimed at preventing zoonotic diseases and strengthening cooperative relationships, as well as to undertake further collaboration and cooperation aimed at creating a system for zoonosis research. ii. Physicians and veterinarians shall strengthen their cooperative relationships to ensure the responsible use of important antimicrobials in human and animal healthcare. iii. Physicians and veterinarians shall support activities for developing and improving human and veterinary medical education, including understanding the One Health concept and approach to One Health challenges. iv. Physicians and veterinarians shall promote mutual exchange and strengthen their cooperative relationships in order to resolve all issues related to the creation of a healthy and safe society.   Following the successful 2GCOH, the WVA and WMA received a number of proposals from Veterinary and Medical Associations to hold the 3rd Global Conference on One Health in their countries showing their great interest to enhance the collaborations between the veterinarians and physicians to work together on One Health issues.”

One Health Arkansas is an initiative that has been primarily led by the veterinary sciences within the state. The conference (November 14, 2015) looked to expand the involvement to more heavily include physicians, nurses, and pharmacists in order to accomplish the objective of the One Health Initiative by informing on what is is, how to utilize the initiative within your respective profession, and address specifically antimicrobial stewardship concerning the One Health Initiative.
