One Health Communication: A Knowledge Bridge to ‘Transdisciplinarity’

Historical knowledge and contemporary experience suggest that One Health, with its 200-year legacy, transcended being a static, fashionable term during its modern period (2004–2016), evolving into Contemporary One Health Thinking over the past decade. During the Anthropocene’s last half-century, humanity has confronted serious health challenges, while the synergy of ecological, anthropogenic, and microbial factors has transformed Anthropocenic Threats into a formidable storm. This transformation has necessitated changes in both healthcare and communication.Over the past quarter-century, communication has evolved from General Communication through Health Communication toward One Health Communication. This conference aims to emphasize the need for sustainable One Health Communication and explain the relationships between Anthropocenic Threats and vital dynamics through interactive interconnectedness. It proposes One Health Communication as an essential instrument for advancing Contemporary One Health Thinking through interprofessional collaboration, transdisciplinary engagement, and effective awareness-building.
