The Polar One Health Summit 2024

The "Polar One Health Summit" is an essential event aimed at addressing the unique health challenges emerging in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where rapid environmental changes are affecting humans, animals, and ecosystems in unprecedented ways. This event is needed because polar regions are on the frontlines of climate change, facing accelerated warming, melting ice caps, and shifts in biodiversity, which in turn affect local communities, wildlife, and the global environment. There is an urgent need for interdisciplinary collaboration to study the interconnectedness of health in these fragile ecosystems and to devise strategies to mitigate emerging threats.
