Abstract
Countries are approaching the final stages of negotiations for a new international Pandemic Agreement aimed at enhancing global readiness and response to pandemics. The agreement seeks to bolster efforts in prevention, preparedness, and response worldwide.
WCS Canada is advocating for the robust protection of articles concerning pandemic prevention, public health surveillance, and One Health principles. In Canada, aligning the implementation of the Pandemic Agreement with the emerging 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, especially in embracing a comprehensive 'whole-of-government' and One Health approach, is crucial for effective management of pandemics.

One Health
Human health and wellbeing are connected to the health of the natural world.
One Health for Watersheds, Wildlife & Well-being
Through a new One Health approach we can help nature and people to thrive.
A unique perspective: Conservation Authorities and One Health for watersheds
When Hurricane Hazel hit Southern Ontario in 1954, the creation a decade earlier of Conservation Authorities with a mandate to protect watersheds turned out to be a farsighted move.
