On 7 April 2026, France hosted the One Health Summit in Lyon, gathering heads of state, international organization leaders, parliamentarians, scientists, private sector representatives, civil society, local authorities, development banks, and youth. The summit, held on World Health Day, focused on the One Health approach that links human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health. President Emmanuel Macron opened the event, emphasizing the need for global cooperation, data sharing, and transparent governance to address emerging health threats. Participants agreed to launch an international pact to protect antibiotic efficacy, establish a global network to monitor antimicrobial resistance, and create a voluntary framework for sharing human, animal and environmental health data. The summit also reaffirmed commitments to integrate One Health into climate negotiations and to support national strategies on nutrition, endocrine disruptors, and antimicrobial use.
