“…Waage et al [58] noted that total sustainable development is more than the sum of its parts and 'is an outcome of positive synergies between multiple elements and may be undermined by negative trade-offs between them'. They go on to criticize the SDGs for being developed within different sectors and presented by the UN without recognizing the interactions, both positive and negative, between them.…”

The current fragmented framework of health governance for humans, animals and environment, together with the conventional linear approach to solving current health problems, is failing to meet today's health challenges and is proving unsustainable. Advances in healthcare depend increasingly on intensive interventions, technological developments and expensive pharmaceuticals. The disconnect grows between human health, animal health and environmental and ecosystems health. Human development gains have come with often unrecognized negative externalities affecting ecosystems. Deterioration in biodiversity and ecosystem services threatens to reverse the health gains of the last century. A paradigm shift is urgently required to de-sectoralize human, animal, plant and ecosystem health and to take a more integrated approach to health, One Health (OH). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework and unique opportunity for this. Through analysing individual SDGs, we argue the feasibility of an OH approach towards achieving them. Feasibility assessments and outcome evaluations are often constrained by sectoral politics within a national framework, historic possession of expertise, as well as tried and tested metrics. OH calls for a better understanding, acceptance and use of a broader and transdisciplinary set of assessment metrics. Key objectives of OH are presented: that humans reconnect with our natural past and accept our place in, and dependence on our planet's ecosystems; and that we recognize our dependence on ecosystem services, the impact of our development thereon and accept our responsibility towards future generations to address this. Several action points are proposed to meet these objectives.Keywords: One Health, Health governance, Health policy, Sustainable development goals, Ecosystems health, Global health, Planetary Health Review Methodology: We reviewed academic papers and on line resources for definitions of health for each sector (human, animal, wildlife, plant and ecosystem health). The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the official lists of diseases published by WHO and the OIE were collated and analysed for their suitability for an integrated approach to management. Selected SDGs were chosen as examples to demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated or one Health approach, which was supported by reviewing the relevant literature for each.

“…On the other hand, health and well-being are among the vital social issues suitable to be represented as stories in the media. Besides, there were consensuses for the category of certain SDGs according to several pieces of research [54,55,56,57]. For example, unlike SDG 4, SDG 5 and SDG 16 falling into the social dimension, SDG 8 and SDG 9 expressed themselves in the economic category.…”

Diverged Preferences towards Sustainable Development Goals? A Comparison between Academia and the Communication Industry

To understand how the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are involved and cited in different fields, the current study aimed to explore the key SDGs and SDG-pairs from the viewpoints of academia and the media. The academic publications with SDG(s)-related keywords in the Scopus database and the entry videos of the “2018 SDG Lions” were collected and analyzed through content and network analysis. It was found that SDG 3 and SDG 10 shared the highest preferences in both industries, but apparent gaps happened to SDG 5. The tied frequencies of the possible SDG pairs were also examined, and SDG 3-10 was identified taking the lead in both industries. Network analysis using degree centrality as the vital parameter demonstrated that SDG 8 and SDG 5 has strong connections with several SDGs for the academia and the media, respectively. The SDG-2-6-7 combination or “water-energy-food” nexus was also found the most frequent combination of three SDGs in the academia. Overall, SDG 3 can be treated as a unifying theme when seeking to acquire evidence-based knowledge for integrated implementation of the SDGs. Important implications for policy-making of the SDGs were also discussed.

“…The ‘SDGs provide a key entry point for the OH approach to drive a paradigm shift in policy and practice towards a fully integrated approach’ (Queenan et al, 2017, p. 6). However, Waage et al (2015) cited in Queenan et al (2017, p. 5) ‘criticises the SDGs for being developed within different sectors and presented by the UN without recognizing the interactions’. Urbanization, and risks of urban animals producing health threats, risk being lost within the web of SDGs given that health and the environment‐related SDGs cover a broad range of areas.…”

Global Crisis Leadership for Disease‐Induced Threats: One Health and Urbanisation

The concept of 'One Health' (OH) has gathered momentum among the public health and animal health communities as an important global policy agenda for drawing together these disciplines to inform urban planning and health security policies. OH research, from a risk governance perspective, is generally concerned with identifying preventative programmes that can minimise the threats posed by diseases at the animal-human interface (e.g. Corona virus, Ebola, avian influenza, the Q virus, for example). This article, by drawing on examples of disease threats, discusses the multi-level challenges of establishing OH with a particular focus on urban change. It considers the risks posed by the increasing urbanisation of animal habitats and what this means for achieving OH. The article concludes by discussing why social scientists need to pay greater attention to the concept of OH. Policy Implications• The success of a One Health approach to global health security governance requires improvement in local capacities for addressing the health security risks posed by urban living and increased urbanisation.• The WHO International Health Regulations and UN Sustainable Development Goals should, in future, recognise the strategies required to promote a One Health approach before a crisis or threat manifests in order to, at least, match their work when it comes effective responses to threats.
