Overview

Description The Conference aims to activate synergic dialogues among disciplinary research fields and actions domains towards urban visions challenges rooting on resilience and adaptive experiences promoted from academia, experts, third sector and communities. The One Health conceptual framework and the possible contribution from the One Health approach in the urban resilience capacities The One Health concept As defined by One Health Commission, “One Health is an approach that recognizes that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment“. As well, in 2015 the Rockefeller Foundation and The Lancet define Planetary Health referring to “the health of human civilization and the state of the natural systems on which it depends“. The One Health emphasizes that the health of humans and all living beings are interdependent and bound to the health of the ecosystems in which they live. The One Health concept fosters a collaborative, multisectoral, and trans-disciplinary approach – working at local, regional, national, and global levels – to achieve optimal health and well-being outcomes recognizing the interconnections between people, animals, plants and their shared environment. One Health, as well as the Planetary Health concept, are rooted in the profound interdependence of human and natural systems: there is a significant overlap between planetary health and traditional environmental health; both examine the relationship between human health and conditions and exposures originating outside the body, be they extreme temperatures, chemicals and biological agents, vector-borne diseases, or any other potential factors. The concept of One Health can be indeed a driving framework to for cities on post-pandemic scenarios. Particularly the One Health approach helps to think and design ways to explore the cross-influence between health and environment, by the application of environmental analysis, monitoring and protection
