Preserving biodiversity - for the health of people and the environment

Panel discussion

How are biodiversity, our health and the emergence of new diseases connected? In this panel discussion, experts will talk about why biodiversity is so important for clean water, healthy food and stable ecosystems - and why its loss increases the risk of infectious diseases from the animal kingdom (zoonoses).

They will also discuss what we can do in terms of One Health and Planetary Health to better protect humans, animals and the environment.
