The One Health Initiative was formed in 2007 by the American Medical Association and the AmericanVeterinary Medical Association “to promote, improve, and defend the health and well-being of all species by enhancing cooperation and collaboration between physicians, veterinarians, and other scientific health professionals” [1]. Many public health professionals also view environmental health as essential to the purpose of One Health. The basic idea is that human health cannot be protected unless animal health and environmental health are also addressed. This concept is not new; Sir William Osler, recognized as the founder of modern medicine, coined the term “one medicine” in the late 1800s [2]. Recent incidents involving emerging zoonotic diseases and public health consequences of environmental degradation have led to urgent calls for veterinary medicine, human medicine, and environmental health approaches to be combined and prioritized. One means to explore the One Health perspective is to assess global climate change (GCC), since GCC affects the environment in which humans and animals, as well the disease vectors and pathogens affecting both groups, exist.
