dc.descriptionThrough the renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on One Health, 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) reaffirm their shared commitment to advancing the implementation of the One Health approach. Building on longstanding cooperation and successful joint efforts, and recognizing the interdependence of the health of humans, animals, plants, ecosystems, and the wider environment, the Quadripartite organizations remain committed to coordinated, multisectoral action to address current and emerging health challenges at the interface. The renewed MoU continues to provide the legal and operational framework for collaboration, leveraging the respective mandates and comparative advantages of each organization. It reinforces possibilities for cooperation across key priority areas, including health systems strengthening; prevention, preparedness and response to epidemics and pandemics; control of endemic and neglected diseases; antimicrobial resistance; food safety; and the systematic integration of environmental considerations into One Health policies and actions. Guided by principles of cooperation, shared responsibility, inclusiveness, equity, and gender equality, the Quadripartite will continue to advance evidence-based policies and coordinated support to countries and partners to accelerate the implementation of the One Health approach. Through this renewed Memorandum of Understanding, FAO, UNEP, WHO, and WOAH reaffirm their collective determination to reduce health risks and promote sustainable health outcomes for humans, animals, plants, ecosystems, and the wider environment worldwide. This renewed Memorandum of Understanding shall remain in force until 28 November 2030.
