New Changes : A Study on Climate Change and One Health Paradigm

The most serious environmental problem of the twenty-first century is climate change. Environmental and ecological changes resulting from climate change should be approached through a new paradigm that encompasses the transdisciplinary, transnational，and interdisciplinary ideas of “human-animal-ecosystem.” In this context, the One Health paradigm, which emerged in the late twentieth century, requires the close cooperation of a variety of fields, including politics, economy, and culture in addition to the fields of medicine, veterinary medicine, and public health. The establishment of a global disease control and health system following the One Health paradigm has been emerging globally. This study discusses the historical and contemporary conceptualization of the One Health concepts and addresses the U.S. Alaska case as an example of a One Health approach to climate change. It also explores the marginalized role of the humanities and social sciences in building up the One Health paradigm.
