As part of Ireland’s One Health Festival, Professor Meri Koivusalo, Coordinator of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Health in All Policies and Social Determinants of Health at Tampere University, will speak at the webinar “Rights at the Centre of One Health Action: Interdisciplinary Best Practices.”
Professor Koivusalo will be joined by speakers from the FAO Right to Food Team in Rome, Italy, and the WHO Collaborating Centre for Public Health Leadership and Workforce Development at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
The webinar will explore how rights-based approaches can be integrated into One Health action and used as practical tools to advance equity across human health, agrifood systems, and the environment. Drawing on real-world case studies, speakers will discuss interdisciplinary collaboration, governance, and approaches that support the progressive realization of human rights.
The session will also examine the relationship between One Health and Health in All Policies, with particular attention to how the two approaches can intersect and reinforce one another in addressing complex health and societal challenges.
Date: Monday, November 23, 2026
Time: 13:00–14:00 Finnish time
Participation is open to interested audiences.
