While it is relatively easy to tell what a mitigation project or programme is (i.e. its contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and/or whether it increases the capacity of an ecosystem to absorb them), the blurred line between a general development project and an adaptation project has been a contentious issue in the international climate finance debate. The relevant question is not whether a project is (also) a development project, but whether the project contributes to adaptation (i.e. what the adaptation/additionality argument is).

These cases invite students to reflect on the pressing realities of people living in vulnerability, the complex connections between people and planet, and how the anthropogenic acts of one generation can reverberate through the next.

The recognition that many risk drivers of infectious disease fall outside of the typical domain of the health sector creates the challenge of identifying and pursuing priorities for cross-sectoral action aimed at strengthening global health security. In response, the One Health concept has emerged, as have related initiatives addressing Planetary Health and Biodiversity and Human Health. From a public health perspective and operationally speaking, the One Health approach offers great potential, emphasising as it does cooperation and coordination between multiple sectors. Yet despite having been a focal point for discussion for over a decade, numerous challenges facing the implementation of One Health preparedness strategies remain. While some are technical, related to the requirement for innovative early warning systems or new vaccines, for example, others are institutional and cultural in nature, given the transdisciplinary nature of the topic. There have thus been calls to address One Health from multiple perspectives, from ecology to the social sciences. In order to further explore this issue and to identify priority areas for action for strengthening One Health preparedness in Europe, ECDC convened an expert consultation on 11–12 December 2017.

                                This toolkit for integrated vector management (IVM) is designed to help national and regional programme managers coordinate across sectors to design and run large IVM programmes.
The toolkit provides the technical detail required to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate an IVM

                                        approach. IVM can be used when the aim is to control or eliminate vector-borne diseases and can also contribute to insecticide resistance management. This toolkit provides information on where vector-borne diseases are endemic and what interventions should be used, presenting case studies on IVM as well as relevant guidance documents for reference.
The diseases that are the focus of this toolkit are malaria, lymphatic filariasis, dengue, leishmaniasis, onchocerciasis, human African trypanosomiasis and schistosomiasis. It also includes information on other viral diseases (Rift Valley fever, West Nile fever, Chikungunya, yellow fever) and trachoma. If other vector-borne diseases appear in a country or area, vector control with an IVM approach should be adopted, as per national priorities.

The full impact of the pandemic cannot yet be determined. But whatever its implications, the Secretariat will rise to the challenge and is ready to adapt so that it is fully equipped to support Member States for any eventuality in the future – to make sure that the world will never again have to face this kind of crisis.

                                The Event-based Surveillance Framework is intended to be used by authorities and agencies responsible for 
surveillance and response. This framework serves as an outline to guide stakeholders interested in implementing 
event-based surveillance (EBS) using a multisectoral, One Health 
                                                                    ...
                                    
                                        approach. To that end, the document is arranged 
in interlinked chapters and annexes that can be modified and adapted, as needed, by users. 
This is a revised version of the original “Framework for Event-based Surveillance” that was published in 2018. This 
framework does not replace any other available EBS materials, but rather builds on existing relevant or related 
documents and serves as a practical guide for the implementation of EBS in Africa. This framework is aligned with 
the third edition of the WHO Joint External Evaluation for the following indicators: strengthened early warning 
surveillance systems that are able to detect events of significance for public health and health security (Indicator 
D2.1); improved communication and collaboration across sectors and between National, intermediate and local 
public health response levels of authority regarding surveillance of events of public health significance (Indicator 
D2.2); and improved national and intermediate-level capacity to analyse data (Indicator D2.3). As countries begin 
to implement and demonstrate EBS functionality they will ensure an increase in JEE scores and progress towards 
meeting the requirements outlined in the IHR3F
Additionally, in African Union Member States that have adopted the Integrated Disease Surveillance and 
Response (IDSR) strategy, this document is a complement to and can enhance the implementation of IDSR, 
especially for the 3rd edition (2019) that includes components related to EBS.
