ABOUT US
The One Sustainable Health for All Foundation
The One Sustainable Health for All Foundation was created on 1 September 2020 in Lyon, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to promote dialogue and innovative projects between public and private partners in favour of one sustainable health for all. This is a worldwide collaborative and inclusive action aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2030).
Since 4 July 2024, the One Sustainable Health for All Foundation has been under the aegis of the Institut Pasteur.
Why the OSH approach ?
The Cost of Inaction vs. the Cost of Prevention
- 75% of emerging infectious diseases are of animal origin.
- Antimicrobial resistance could kill 10 million people a year by 2050.
- The COVID-19 pandemic cost the global economy $12.5 trillion (IMF, via the World Bank).
- And yet, we continue to manage human, animal, and environmental health in separate silos.
The cost of inaction is documented, massive, and growing
- Prevention costs guided by the One Health approach are estimated at between $10.3 and $11.5 billion per year — less than 1% of the cost of the COVID-19 pandemic response in 2020 alone.
- Conversely, One Health prevention measures offer an estimated annual return on investment of up to 86%.
- The FAO and the World Bank estimate that One Health efforts could generate at least $37 billion per year for the global community.
- The equation is simple. One Sustainable Health is not an additional cost — it is the best investment our societies can make.
- Civil society organizations are mobilizing around this shared advocacy effort to influence public and private policies and actions.
- Acting now costs infinitely less than dealing with the consequences tomorrow!
The One Sustainable Health for All Foundation supports two complementary activities :
“The Foundation for One Sustainable Health for All, under the aegis of the Institut Pasteur, aims to foster dialogue and innovative projects between public and private stakeholders in support of sustainable health for all.”
With the commitment and support of its strategic partners (link to be added), it leads and develops two complementary activities: the OSH Forum (link to be added) and the OSH Lab (link to be added). In 2022, during the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union (PFUE), it also launched the One Europe for Global Health (OEGH) coalition, which it co-coordinates with the Virchow Foundation.
