ZOE co-publishes a position paper at the biodiversity-health nexus

This position paper was developed by four Horizon Europe projects (BCOMING, BEPREP, RESTOREID and ZOE) working at the biodiversity–health interface to support the European Commission in implementing the Strategy for European Life Sciences and to identify research gaps and priorities relevant to Horizon Europe for the next framework programme period 2028-2034.

Evidence generated across BCOMING, BEPREP, RESTOREID, and ZOE demonstrates that biodiversity is not external to the life sciences agenda, but a foundational component of prevention-oriented, resilient, and integrated One Health approaches. Embedding biodiversity within life sciences therefore strengthens the Strategy’s objectives on prevention, surveillance, data integration, public trust, innovation uptake, and cross-sector coordination.
