WHO says the One Health Summit is underway in Lyon, with the high-level segment set for 7 April and World Health Day.

The World Health Organization says the One Health Summit is underway in Lyon, France, from April 5 to 7.

WHO’s official event page says the high-level segment is set for April 7, which is also World Health Day. The summit is being hosted by France as a flagship event of its G7 presidency.

According to WHO, the meeting is bringing together heads of state and government, international organizations, scientists, civil society, youth and local actors. The agenda focuses on zoonotic reservoirs and vectors, antimicrobial resistance, sustainable food systems and exposure to pollution.

French government and Lyon city materials independently confirm the summit dates and venue.

The event is designed to push coordinated action across human, animal and environmental health. For WHO, the opening in Lyon is the latest step in a summit that is expected to produce new commitments during the week.

The main public milestone now is the April 7 high-level segment, when the broader World Health Day message will be tied to the One Health agenda.
