One Health is a transdisciplinary approach used to address complex concerns related to human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health. One Health frameworks and operational tools are available to support countries and communities, particularly for the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance and the protection of food safety. However, One Health has yet to be implemented in a manner that fully considers the complexities and interconnectedness of the diverse influences that have impacts at a larger system level. This lack of consideration can undermine the sustainability of any positive outcomes. To ensure the One Health approach can function effectively within the new global context of converging and escalating health, social, economic, and ecological crises, it must evolve and expand in three overlapping dimensions: (1) Scope: the partners, knowledge, and knowledge systems included, (2) Approach: the techniques, methodologies, and scholarship considered, and (3) Worldview inclusivity: the interweaving of other worldviews together with the mainstream scientific worldview that currently predominates. Diverse partners and knowledge from outside the mainstream health and scientific sectors, including Indigenous peoples and representatives of local communities, and traditionally generated knowledge, must be included. These systems of knowledge can then be braided together with mainstream science to comprise a holistic framework for decision-making. Scholarship and methodologies being applied in other fields and contexts to solve complex challenges and manage uncertainty, such as collaborative governance, social-ecologic systems theory, and complexity science, must be recognized and incorporated. The spectrum of considered worldviews must also expand to authentically integrate the expanded scope and approach into action and sustainable impact. By increasing community and social engagement and by recognizing and entwining different worldviews, the plurality of disciplines, and traditional and scientific ways of knowing to address community concerns in the contexts in which they exist, we can ensure that One Health remains effective and true to its paradigm in our rapidly changing and complex world.
One Health 是一种跨学科方法,用于解决与人类、动物、植物和生态系统健康相关的复杂问题。One Health 框架和操作工具可用于支持国家和社区,特别是预防和控制人畜共患疾病和抗微生物药物耐药性以及保护食品安全。然而,One Health 尚未以充分考虑对更大系统层面产生影响的各种复杂且相互关联的因素的方式实施。这种考虑不足可能会破坏任何积极成果的可持续性。为了确保 One Health 方法能够在健康、社会、经济和生态危机不断汇聚和升级的新的全球背景下有效运作,它必须在三个重叠的维度上发展和扩展:(1)范围:包括的合作伙伴、知识和知识系统,(2)方法:考虑的技术、方法和学术,以及(3)世界观包容性:将其他世界观与目前占主导地位的主流科学世界观交织在一起。必须包括主流卫生和科学部门以外的多元化合作伙伴和知识,包括土著人民和地方社区的代表,以及传统上产生的知识。然后可以将这些知识系统与主流科学编织在一起,构成一个用于决策的整体框架。必须认识和纳入其他领域和背景中应用于解决复杂挑战和管理不确定性的学术和方法,例如合作治理、社会-生态系统理论和复杂性科学。考虑的世界观范围也必须扩大,以真实地将扩展的范围和方法融入行动和可持续影响中。通过增加社区和社会参与,并认识和交织不同的世界观、多种学科以及传统和科学的认知方式,来解决存在于其所在背景下的社区关注问题,我们可以确保 One Health 在我们快速变化和复杂的世界中保持有效性并忠于其范例。
