Stephane de la Rocque et al.

Summary: Unexpected transmission of pathogens between animals, humans, and their shared environments has wide-ranging impacts on society. The collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has been ongoing for over two decades. The addition of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) in 2021 to form the 'Quadripartite' creates a new avenue for engaging environmental sectors in addressing health risks and improving health security globally.

The Generalizable One Health Framework (GOHF) provides a five-step structure for implementing zoonotic disease programs, along with a toolkit of existing resources. It also offers recommendations for implementing a One Health approach in technical domains to enhance capacity building and combat zoonotic disease threats.
