"Risks of outbreaks with pandemic potential rise with increasing land-use change, biodiversity loss and climate change. The Pandemic Agreement adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2025 marks a historic shift that establishes the One Health approach as a legally binding obligation for pandemic prevention."
Pandemic outbreak risks escalate with increasing land-use change, biodiversity loss, and climate change. The 2025 Pandemic Agreement adopted by the World Health Assembly represents a significant milestone by establishing the One Health approach as a legally binding obligation for pandemic prevention. This integrated approach recognizes the interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health. However, the agreement's effectiveness depends on developing and implementing a comprehensive plan that translates these binding obligations into concrete preventive actions and coordinated responses across nations and sectors.
