To mark this year’s International Day for Biodiversity, the Regional Quadripartite for Asia and the Pacific, led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Asia and the Pacific Office, will host the webinar Integrating Biodiversity and Health: Insights from the IPBES Nexus Assessment and One Health Approaches in Asia and the Pacific on 22 May to highlight the interconnectedness between biodiversity, health and sustainable development. The event will introduce findings from the newly approved Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES)Nexus Assessment, providing insights into the critical links between biodiversity, food, water, and health, and highlight how the role of a One Health approach, as reflected in the Global Action Plan on Biodiversity and Health, could help address current and future animal and public health threats and environmental degradation. This webinar seeks to bridge science, policy, and practice to support these goals.
