IUHPE continues to call on Member States to invest in multilateral efforts and to adopt, plan, finance and implement comprehensive approaches that cut across sectors such as One Health and Planetary Health, inclusive of all species, Indigenous knowledges and responsive to vulnerabilities and gender disparities, to address the social, ecological, and commercial determinants of health to achieve health and well-being for all.
