Answers to the following questions will be particularly considered:

• What are the One Health effects of various changes? How climate, biodiversity and habitat destruction changes impact infectious diseases - vector-borne diseases - foodborne diseases incidence and distribution?
• What are the new tools necessary/already available to meet One Health challenges? Examples of new approaches in data collection – management - analysis will be provided in the perspective of meeting One Health challenges.
• Do we have perfect One health solutions examples? Successful One Health stories will be presented in the field of infectious diseases - vector-borne diseases - foodborne diseases and focusing on concrete situations to move forward from concepts to practical solutions.
