Summary:
Join us for an enlightening webinar focused on assessing the ecological quality of urban streams within the One Health framework. Our event will take you on a journey through the research sites of OneAquaHealth, with representatives from 5 European cities ( Coimbra, Toulouse, Benevento, Toulouse, and Oslo) showcasing their unique attributes, sampling endeavors, and local partnerships.

Additionally, we will delve into discussions on interactions with non-project sites across the EU and US, highlighting potential challenges and fostering collaboration to ensure project sustainability.

Urban aquatic ecosystems are extremely relevant connectors between people, animals and plants, making cities more biodiverse and sustainable. Yet, these ecosystems are often confronted with lack of space, cuts of vegetation, artificialization, and other urbanization processes. This degradation can lead to numerous disservices to humans in regard to emerging pathogens, decreasing disease resistance, climate change impacts and other health concerns in cities.
