"One Health"
In this context, the concept of "One Health," promoted by the World Health Organization as a multidisciplinary, integrated, and global approach, represents a path forward for balanced development. It demonstrates how human life is unsustainable without other creatures. This approach, affirms Leo XIV, is in harmony with global bioethics, an area of interest for the Pontifical Academy for Life.
Regarding public action, the Pope adds: "One Health requires integrating the health dimension into all policies (transport, housing, agriculture, employment, education, etc.), aware that health is built at the intersection of all dimensions of social life."
“Therefore, we need to strengthen our understanding and practice of the common good, so that it is not neglected under the pressure of particular, individual and national interests.”
