Enhancing One Health intelligence to strengthen global health security: Preliminary high-level findings
2022Also available in:
No results found.This flyer highlights the preliminary findings of the Quadripartite One Health Intelligence Scoping Study (OHISS) project, which will come to an end on 31 July 2022. It also details the evidence base for the preliminary findings and the next steps in the OHISS project. Since the launch of the OHISS in December 2021, the study has engaged with experts, groups and initiatives across the animal, human and ecosystem health sectors, to support the development of a global One Health Information System. The OHISS will use the findings to recommend an operational framework for a global One Health intelligence and early warning system. The preliminary high-level findings of the Quadripartite OHISS are taken from the project’s Interim Report covering the period of December 2021 to March 2022. A final report, outlining the overall high-level findings from the project, will be produced after July 2022. -

Final report
2023Also available in:
No results found.The One Health Intelligence Scoping Study (OHISS) is an initiative of the Quadripartite alliance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE). In June 2021, the G7 Carbis Bay Health Declaration requested that the Quadripartite conduct a scoping study to identify opportunities for further technical harmonization of their systems to strengthen One Health Intelligence and to improve global health security. OHISS was funded by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and coordinated by FAO. The following foundational activities were carried out to assess needs and opportunities: an extensive literature review; engagement with international experts and diverse stakeholders; review of national critical competencies and ‘best practice’ case studies; an assessment of Quadripartite activities and prioritized early warning systems selected according to their potential to contribute to One Health intelligence; and a hazard identification exercise (risk scaping) to define One Health scope and priorities. For the identified priority hazards, a series of workshops were conducted with international experts to assess the ‘risk landscape’, identifying and prioritizing multiple potential monitoring points. The key recommendation of OHISS is that immediate actions are taken to develop a global One Health Intelligence System (OHIS). The global OHIS would establish a framework to link, strengthen and further develop One Health intelligence activities, and it would be led by the Quadripartite organizations. The development the global OHIS will support the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action, and the national and global needs for early warning of ongoing and emerging threats. A Quadripartite-led approach to global One Health Intelligence will help to reduce the threats to global health security posed by risks across the One Health spectrum, including environmental changes.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
