Recent international health emergencies demonstrate the need for resilient health systems and accelerated global action. The One Health concept is based on the observation that the health of humans, animals, plants, and the wider environment is closely linked and interdependent. This interdependency means that no single discipline or sector can tackle health threats that occur at the interface between humans, animals, plants, and ecosystems in isolation.

DFID’s Economic Development Strategy (2017) recognises climate change as ‘the biggest global threat to sustained economic development’. Climate-resilient infrastructure can accommodate the shocks and stresses posed by extreme weather events and climate change, while supporting economies and communities (particularly the poor and vulnerable) to survive, adapt and thrive in the face of these challenges.
