Summary
This meeting, with funding from the United States Department of State, brought together the One Health Global Network work group that was established during the Stone Mountain Meeting of 2010. The objective of the meeting was to develop a proposal for a global network that can link all existing and future One Health databases and materials, as well as to develop a vision for the governance of the One Health movement that will ensure the coherence of the movement. A network task force was created and tasked with moving the idea of a “network of networks” forward over the subsequent six months. In addition, the concept of a One Health Guidance Group was developed.

Summary

The Congress focused on the risks and challenges brought about by the interactions between animal and human health and the environment. It considered these in the general context of the science and research being undertaken, but critically focused on the outcomes that need to be achieved to effectively manage the growing risks to global health. The Congress envisaged that a global consideration of interrelated issues of animal and human health and the relationship with the environment can take the science to the policy maker and thus drive real and profound change.
