Environmental Disasters and the Interface with One Health in Rio Grande do Sul: Challenges and Perspectives

Abstract

Using the One Health approach, this study aimed to examine the effects of climate disasters on the human-animal health interface in the context of Rio Grande do Sul. The research analyzed the impact of extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, on public health, emphasizing the interdependence between humans, animals, and the environment. A systematic review assessed the literature on disasters within the One Health framework. As a result, interdisciplinary collaboration across various sectors has been emphasized as essential to addressing the challenges posed by environmental disasters. Such collaboration enables the formulation of more robust and practical strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
