Thoughts for One Health
•Worldwide, effects of extreme weather events
and natural hazards are apparent, having
increasing significance for human health of
which One Health is a part
•Managing the risks of One Health and other
hazards are an interdisciplinary challenge
•One Health already links to the International
Health Regulations but now needs to benefit
from the Hyogo Framework for Action and its
Post-2015 instrument
