Project description

The summer meeting of SDWG 2020 accepted the next working plan of the project, and new countries (Norway, Kingdom of Denmark) came in the leadership team. Many other member states and Indigenous Peoples of SDWG are supporting the project. It will collaborate with AMAP (HHAG), ACAP (LEO Network), and CAFF (wildlife experts), and share knowledge, table-top exercises, and joint research, in such events as disease outbreaks and natural disasters. The main goal is to establish “One Health hubs”, which are points of contact to facilitate One Health work in the Arctic.

Finnish contact persons of the project are Professor Arja Rautio and Professor Antti Oksanen (Finnish Food Authority).
