The Climate-Health Action Compass is an interactive public engagement initiative that helps people across disciplines understand their role in addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and infectious disease risks.

This year, we’re celebrating One Health Day on October 30 with a look into the “frightening and fantastic” world of fungi! Join us at the UT Student Union to learn about the complex interactions of fungi in human, animal, plant, and environment health. You’ll also learn about the mushrooms of Appalachia and the critical roles fungi play in culinary arts. Fungi-forward refreshments will be provided, and Halloween costumes are encouraged!

To celebrate One Health Day 2026, One Health Wednesdays presents an online, prerecorded podcast conversation with Dr. Hope Ferdowsian, physician and president of Phoenix Zones Initiative. The episode introduces Just One Health, an approach that places ethics and justice at the center of the interconnected health and well-being of people, animals, and shared environments. Through discussion of pandemic prevention, environmental threats, and global policy, listeners learn why collaboration across public health, medicine, veterinary medicine, law, and other fields matters.
