Organisation

Background

“One Europe for Global Health” is a civil society coalition that bundles the voices from a diversity of professional organizations and citizens across Europe and around the world. This initiative stems from the mobilisation of several members who met in Lyon on the occasion of the European Ministers of Health and Foreign Affairs meeting during the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union in February 2022. The resulting “One Europe for Global Health Declaration” (initially “Lyon Declaration for a European Health Union”), urges European stakeholders in Global Health and One Health to:

  1. Make a long-term commitment to future generations, to enhance preparedness and build more resilient societies
  2. Think and act globally, regionally and locally – a “glocal” approach
  3. Come together in equity and solidarity within Europe and beyond 
  4. Limit silos with more intersectoral cooperation
  5. Commit to good governance for a European Health Union
