Relationship

One Health employs an interdisciplinary approach to problems. By seeking to treat root causes, it鈥檚 often more successful than traditional methods that focus on symptoms. 

One Health concepts and ideas lie at the core of Indigenous worldviews and are inextricably linked to the development of a sustainable future in the Arctic.
