#UN; #FuturePandemics; #zoonoticDiseases; #OneHealthApproach Geneva/UN, Jul 13 (Canadian-Media): A new report from UNEP and ILRI describes how the novel coronavirus is part of a growing trend of zoonotic diseases that have jumped from animals into the human population. The drivers of this trend – including climate change and an increased demand for meat – are on the rise. To stop future pandemics we must work together to adopt a “One Health” approach that brings together medical, veterinary, and environmental expertise. #cooperatives, #socialEconomy, #microenterprises, #smallenterprises, #informaleconomy, #safetymanagement Cooperatives and other social and solidarity economy (SSE) enterprises around the world are being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In responding to this crisis, they have provided essential assistance to their members, adapted their services, connecting people in need of support with local governments and social partners. |
