Policy Kitchen / 18:30pm – 21:00pm

Covid-19 has highlighted more than ever the need for change in the way we manage the health of humans, animals and interact with our environment at large. “One health” is a much-needed paradigm shift exploring the interlinkages between human health, animal health, and the health of the ecosystems we inhabit. In this workshop we will explore the public health challenges, which "One Health" seeks to address.

How will our future look like if we maintain the status quo? Which scenarios are likely to happen if we do not adopt holistic policy approaches?

We have the pleasure to discuss these questions with Prof. Vinh-Kim Nguyen (Co-Director of the Global Health Centre, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) amongst other experts to be confirmed.

The second part of the workshop will be dedicated to group work imagining dystopian scenarios in 2050, which a "One Health" approach aims at preventing, focusing on major public health challenges such as infectious diseases jumping from animals to humans, the resistance to antibiotics as well as food safety and security threats.
