Editorial Commentary
On February 16 the American Public Health Association, The Climate Reality Project, Harvard Global Health Institute and the University of Washington Center for Health co-hosted a Climate Change and Health Meeting. It was live streamed free to the public and the
recording is available. Recognizing the inextricable interactions between animal, human and environmental health, many One Health advocates are concerned that we are missing the boat if we don't also focus on the animal component relative to food security. The world needs to know the threat that climate change poses to agriculture and food security.

One Health Music
Recent new book!
Review by Cheryl Stroud, DVM, PhD, Executive Director, One Health Commission --
This book is a significant contribution to the world's understanding of One Health. It is rich in history of this concept/approach revealing not only the impact that taking a One Health approach can provide for 'health' of regional societies, but also the bottom line economic value of integrating it into all levels of governmental policy decisions and academic / corporate research. Refreshingly it moves beyond zoonotic infectious diseases to highlight many of the broader arenas under the One Health purview such as climate change, environmental disruption, food security and wildlife health. Chapter 27 is an excellent overview of several current global OH training initiatives. Used with the series of articles on One Health Training, Research and Outreach, (published December 2016 in Infection Ecology and Epidemiology), it provides excellent guidance and insight for those seeking to start their own One Health training programs. Chapter 28 provides a poignant discussion of structural and systemic forces that threaten relationships of indigenous populations to their land and animals. This book is a must read and dynamic resource for both 'dyed in the wool' One Health advocates and newcomers to the concept as it arms the world with examples of the comprehensive 'value' of One Health.
