Description
Jinkou Zhao, Alexandra Calmy, and Michel Kazatchkine argue in 2026 that diplomacy, not science alone, is the missing piece in One Health governance. One Health joins human, animal, and environmental health, yet its work stalls in silos between disciplines, sectors, and sovereign states. Crises that cross all three domains at once have exposed how fragmented the current structures are.
The authors frame global health diplomacy as the essential mechanism for designing governance that can act across those divides. They propose a three-part diplomatic approach to close the implementation gap between One Health's ambitions and its practice. Their perspective speaks to policymakers who must negotiate shared rules for threats that no single country or profession can manage alone.
