New Perspectives on Sustainable Health: Contributions of One Health
07 november 2025 10:00 – 11:30
Did you know that disruption of natural ecosystems has been linked to most emerging infectious diseases in humans? This striking fact illustrates why we need integrated approaches that connect human, animal, and environmental health.
This event is hosted by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) as part of the SHIP Dialogue Series: “New Perspectives on Sustainable Health.”
The SHIP dialogue series aims to identify areas of intersection between disciplines, reveal blind spots and disconnects, and build a shared language for sustainable health that can inspire both practical insights and future collaborations.
Program
Join us for a dialogue on how One Health can help tackle complex global challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Four speakers will give a broad insight into different aspects of health, including:
Sharon Hill (Associate professor, Department of Plant Protection Biology on ecology/epidemiology of malaria mosquitoes),
Michael Bertram (Assistant Professor, Department of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies on ecological effects of pharmaceutics in the environment)
Marcus Hedblom (Professor, Landscape architecture Landscape management on human health and biodiversity) and
Sofia Boqvist (Professor of Veterinary Public Health, Department of Animal Biosciences, Bacteriology, Virology, Food Safety and Veterinary Public Health on global food security and zoonotic risks).
Their presentations will be followed by an engaging panel discussion with partners from other fields and sectors.
SHIP
Sustainable Health in Partnership (SHIP) is a transdisciplinary platform that strengthens and accelerates initiatives tackling complex global challenges that impact health. It connects Swedish universities and partners working to advance ecological, social, and economic sustainability for health.
SHIP is driven by Karolinska Institutet, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå University, Uppsala University, and Örebro University.
