The World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations General Assembly adopted a Political Declaration on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response on October 12, 2026. This declaration urges governments to address the root causes and drivers of emerging infectious diseases, including zoonoses, using a One Health approach. This context comes as the World Meteorological Organization expects El Niño to peak while Cambodia faces threats from avian influenza.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The declaration emphasizes that environmental changes, such as climate change and ecosystem degradation, increase opportunities for viruses to spread. This is particularly relevant given that avian influenza has threatened poultry production and farmers’ livelihoods in Asia and the Pacific for over two decades.
