Preface and Abstracts of the 2nd International One Health Conference
Summary
This document presents the preface and compiled abstracts from the 2nd International One Health Conference, covering topics linking human, animal, and environmental health including emerging contaminants, zoonotic diseases, and ecosystem degradation. It serves as a reference collection of research presented at the conference rather than a single primary study.
The International One Health Conference 2023, scheduled for October in Barcelona, fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to health involving professionals, academics, and decision-makers. Operating in a hybrid format, the conference aims to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and policies, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Health in All Policies (HiAP). Emphasizing community involvement and the symbiotic relationship between basic needs, sustainable lifestyles, and empowerment, the conference envisions a comprehensive approach to sustainable development. D’Alisa introduces a framework incorporating participative democracy, recognizing the interconnectedness of economic, social, environmental, and participative democratic dimensions. Framing questions for the conference delve into critical aspects, addressing the integration of the One Health framework within health sectors, emphasizing interlinkages between health, climate change, and decision-making. The conference’s five-dimension framework tackles the complexity of One Health, addressing concerns, solutions, and opportunities in a holistic paradigm.

Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health
This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health framework, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Researchers found that pollutants including heavy metals, microplastics, and chemical contaminants circulate continuously between ecosystems, animals, and human populations, creating cascading health effects. The study calls for integrated, cross-disciplinary approaches to address pollution as a shared threat across all domains of health.
Environmental pollution and One Health: An integrated threat to global health
This review examines environmental pollution through the One Health lens, exploring how chemical contaminants, biological agents, and physical pollutants move between ecosystems, animals, and human populations. Researchers highlight that pollutants such as heavy metals, microplastics, and persistent organic compounds accumulate through food chains and disrupt biological systems across species. The study emphasizes that addressing pollution effectively requires coordinated approaches spanning human medicine, veterinary science, and environmental management.
