One Health has emerged as a political and scientific imperative for systemic and sustainable response to global health threats linked to climate change, declining biodiversity, antimicrobial resistance, emerging and endemic infectious disease, and non-communicable disease. The COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating health and economic impact have underscored that the present moment is one of critical significance. Global health and the viability of all life on our planet is at stake.

Within the Norwegian academic and practical One Health milieus, there is scientific expertise and political will. However, there is a marked need to assemble, unite, and mobilize the Norwegian One Health scientific and policy environment and to harness a One Health focus across national agendas and policies, ensuring a cohesive national One Health platform for local, regional, national, and international One Health collaborations. Join us for this conference, as we frame the way forward towards a One Health Norway platform.
