Sessions overview

Below you can find the overview of all accepted conference sessions. The Scientific Program Committee carefully reviewed these sessions and ensured that they covered various topics related to ecosystem services and One Health to provide a rich and diverse learning experience for all attendees.

Through these sessions, we aim to explore how the ecosystem services concept can address the challenges involved in delivering the global vision of One Health.

In addition to standard sessions (presentations followed by disucssions), alternative session formats such as discussion forums, world cafes, fishbowls, and sessions in which media outputs will be organised. Please click the titles below to read the session descriptions.

The sessions are clustered according to two thematic streams: Ecosystem services and health (H), and Ecosystem services and conditions for transformative change (TC), and ESP Working Groups structure: Biome (B), Sectoral (S) and Thematic (T) Working Groups. Other sessions such as trainings, YESS, will also be organised.

H - Ecosystem services and health
TC - Ecosystem services and conditions for transformative change
ESP Working Groups structure:
- B. Biome sessions
- S. Sectoral sessions
- T. Thematic sessions
O - Other sessions
