Centre of Excellence for One Health and Environmental Sustainability

Centre of Excellence for One Health and Environmental Sustainability

Centre of Excellence for One Health and Environmental Sustainability adopts the One Health approach, integrating human, animal, and environmental health. It directly supports China’s “Healthy China 2030” strategy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals by addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, emerging infectious diseases, and planetary health challenges. It will strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration between environmental and life sciences and enhance international research impact and industry-academia-research translation capabilities by leveraging AI, data science, and environmental monitoring technologies.
