- Abstract
- This paper critically examines the (legal) implications and synergies between One Health and the UN Animal Welfare Nexus Resolution. Firstly, it elucidates the emergence of the UN Animal Welfare Nexus Resolution, which is mainly a result of a strong collaboration between several African nations. Secondly, this chapter explores intersections between One Health and the UN Animal Welfare Nexus Resolution, elaborating on key issues such as the global animal welfare gap, the lack of UN institutionalisation and the need to surpass the environment–animal dichotomy. In the penultimate section, a state of play on the implementation status of the Nexus Resolution will be covered. The overall aim of this paper is to contribute to the ongoing discourse on global health by highlighting the intricate relationship between One Health and animal welfare governance. It underscores the importance of holistic and interdisciplinary approaches to address complex health challenges, while also recognizing the intrinsic value of animals in achieving sustainable development goals and ensuring the well-being of present and future generations.
