As a global population, we are entirely reliant upon a healthy ocean that cover 70 per cent of the earth’s surface: it contributes to the renewal of freshwater; it absorbs over a quarter of global carbon dioxide, and it produces half the oxygen we breathe. However, climate change is driving changes to the ocean that threaten enjoyment of these benefits in addition to catalysing harm to the marine environment. Nonetheless, the nexus between health, ocean and climate change has long been overlooked.
The aim of the event is to introduce the interlinkages between One Health, the ocean, and climate change and explore the environmental law and policy dimensions of One Health. Examples such as the development of a One Health AMR (antimicrobial resistance) Legal Assessment Tool to be developed by FAO, OIE and WHO or a One Health project funded by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (One Health in practice in Southeast Asia Zoonoses and socio-environmental changes: OneHealthSEA 2021 – 2022), which includes the development of a training component for students and civil servants in an environmental law perspective (resp. C. Lajaunie), will illustrate some transformative governance process and changes.
