Purpose of consultancy

To synthesize and critically assess the available evidence on how nature-based solutions can contribute to implementation of the One Health approach, and to develop an evidence-based policy paper with actionable recommendations for policymakers in the WHO European Region.

Background

Human, animal, and ecosystem health are increasingly shaped by shared environmental drivers such as climate change, biodiversity loss, land-use change, water degradation, and pollution. These drivers contribute to increased risk of zoonotic disease emergence, food safety, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), increasing the burden on health and health systems.

The One Health approach provides a unifying framework to address these interconnected challenges, yet policy implementation remains fragmented across health, environment, agriculture, and urban development sectors. NbS actions that protect, sustainably manage, or restore ecosystems while addressing societal challenges, are increasingly promoted in climate and environmental policy, but their role as preventive health interventions within One Health frameworks is not yet systematically articulated or operationalized.

Existing evidence on NbS demonstrates benefits for climate adaptation and biodiversity, but health outcomes are often treated as co-benefits rather than primary objectives. There is a critical need for a consolidated, policy-relevant evidence review that explicitly links NbS to human health, animal health, and ecosystem outcomes, and translates this evidence into actionable guidance for policymakers. This policy paper will address this gap by positioning NbS as a practical and cost-effective mechanism to operationalize One Health.

The project is aligned with relevant commitments in the Budapest Declaration concerning environmental health, nature-based solutions and the One Health approach, as applicable.

The paper will be directly relevant to national governments and regional authorities seeking to operationalize One Health approaches, by supporting alignment with WHO One Health guidance and relevant global initiatives such as the Global One Health Joint Plan of Action, climate adaptation strategies, biodiversity frameworks, and bioeconomy and natural capital agendas, particularly within the WHO European Region.

Objectives

To produce an evidence-based policy paper, informed by a structured review of relevant scientific literature and policy documents, that assesses how NbS may contribute to implementation of the One Health approach and identifies actionable recommendations for policymakers.

· Review and synthesize existing evidence on the impacts of nature-based solutions on human, animal, and ecosystem health.

· Identify key pathways and mechanisms through which NbS address shared environmental drivers of One Health risks, including climate hazards, infectious diseases, and pollution.

· Assess the strength, gaps, and limitations of the evidence base, with particular attention to the WHO European Region.

· Translate scientific evidence into policy-relevant insights, including enabling conditions and governance requirements.

· Develop clear, actionable policy recommendations for integrating NbS into One Health.

Purpose of consultancy

To write a policy brief for Member States on harnessing NbS to improve and promote health and well-being.

Background

Health and well-being are fundamental for resilient societies and sustainable development, yet they are increasingly strained by urbanization, climate change, social isolation, and widening inequities. Health systems remain largely treatment-oriented, with insufficient attention to prevention and promotion of health related to environmental determinants. At the same time, many communities lack equitable access to green and blue spaces that support restoration, cohesion, physical activity, mental health and resilience.

Nature-based solutions are actions that protect, restore, and sustainably manage ecosystems. They offer a practical, evidence-based way to strengthen population health and well-being while simultaneously delivering other societal benefits. Access to and engagement with nature has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood and cognitive functioning, enhance social cohesion, encourage physical activity, and build resilience to environmental stressors such as heat and pollution. By addressing environmental, social, and behavioral determinants simultaneously, targeted and properly designed NbS can deliver measurable improvements in quality of life while generating co-benefits for climate adaptation, biodiversity, and local economies.

In the Budapest Declaration, Member States committed to accelerate action for improvement of population health by addressing environmental determinants of disease and by promoting cleaner, greener and healthier urban environments, including through the integration of NbS in policies and planning. To translate these commitments into practice, practical recommendations are needed to guide policymakers, environmental and urban planners and health authorities on how to design and implement NbS so they effectively deliver health, biodiversity and climate co-benefits.

Using a theory-of-change framework, the brief will offer key evidence-based practical policy messages based on linking designs of NbS to health outcomes, and on stating the mechanism through which the link occurs. The brief should be in a “best buys” format, providing 10 to 20 key NbS relevant for the WHO European Region.

For example:

a. Ensure Daily Access to Nearby Green Space

Design principle: Every resident should live within short walking distance (≈300 m) of quality green space.

Why: Proximity strongly predicts lower depression and anxiety rates.

b. Provide Microclimate Comfort

Design principle: Shade trees, airflow corridors, seating in sun and shade.

Why: Heat stress worsens mental distress; thermal comfort improves emotional regulation.

The policy-relevant evidence and solutions will leverage existing experiences from the Region and help health care facilities and all levels of government to embed NbS targets into public health and urban planning systems and so improve health and well-being. By presenting health outcome results from targeted NbS, we aim to accelerate cost-effective, preventive action that strengthens health, reduces long-term health system pressures, and supports more resilient and livable communities across the Region.

The brief will strengthen prevention and health promotion in the Region by integrating evidence-based specific NbS into public health policy, planning, and practice.

Specifically, the policy brief aims to:

· Synthesize and contextualize evidence on NbS targeted to prevent and promote health relevant to the WHO European Region. Particular attention is to be given to the identification of experiences that include an economic assessment of the costs and benefits of the intervention.

· Categorize the NbS interventions based on diverse settings and criteria (e.g. urban, peri-urban, environmental, social/vulnerable communities, cost-effectiveness).

· Develop a regional “best-buys” NbS for health framework aligned with One Health, natural capital, and health system priorities.

Deliverables

Deliverable 1: Evidence review document that will include a literature review of NbS targeted to prevent and promote health linking between NbS design, the mechanism at which it works to prevent and/or promote health, and the health outcome (see examples above) expected by [1.2.2027].

Deliverable 2: Mapping Matrix that will include map existing NbS and health interventions (e.g., green prescribing, therapeutic landscapes, urban greening for health and well-being expected by 1.3.2027.

Deliverable 3: Categorization framework where solutions will be categorized by settings and criteria expected by 1.4.2027.

Deliverable 4: Draft “best-buys” policy brief providing evidence-based recommendations for policymakers on the use of NbS to prevent disease and promote health, expected by [1.5.2027].

Deliverable 5: Finalize the brief following a WHO review expected by 1.7.2027.

Deliverable 6: Power Point presentation for dissemination among policymakers and stakeholders expected by 1.6.2027.

Purpose of the consultancy

To provide technical support to the multi-communicable disease elimination (MCDE) initiative in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).

This includes compiling and reviewing technical input to support the finalization of the EMRO MCDE framework; conducting reviews and compiling information to support the implementation of the MCDE Resolution, including on cross-border collaboration and the investment case; compiling information to support country-level MCDE planning and dialogues; and providing technical input to the MCDE regional portal/dashboard and to the integration of climate-sensitive indicators and climate-epidemiological information into surveillance systems

Background

The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) carries a high burden of multiple communicable diseases, including hepatitis, malaria, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), tuberculosis (TB) and mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B, which together accounted for more than 8 million disability-adjusted life years in 2023. National elimination efforts remain largely vertical and fragmented, progress is uneven and vulnerable to reversal, and elimination cannot be sustained in one country while neighboring countries remain reservoirs of transmission.

Elimination is further challenged by drug and insecticide resistance, invasive vectors and the growing impact of climate change, as floods, droughts and extreme weather alter transmission and disrupt services, and by population mobility, mass gatherings, protracted conflict and humanitarian crises. Disease elimination therefore has to be pursued as a shared regional commitment rather than a national objective alone.

In response, WHO EMRO has launched a regional Multi-Communicable Disease Elimination (MCDE) initiative to integrate interventions across disease-specific programmes, harmonize service delivery and accelerate measurable progress at national, subnational and cross-border levels. At the request of the Regional Committee (RC73) Sub-committee, a Technical Paper and Resolution on a multi-disease elimination architecture for communicable diseases will be presented at RC73 in 2026. The paper, developed through two consultations with Member States and experts, includes an initial MCDE heatmap and framework to be refined with further evidence and expert consensus and finalized as an EMRO strategy document after adoption. The next phase after RC73 will be to publish an EMRO document including the MCDE approach and full framework, and to implement the recommendations to the Regional Director included in the Resolution.

Climate change is a direct determinant of progress towards elimination for several MCDE priority diseases, in particular malaria and vector-borne NTDs. Resolution EM/RC72/R.6 (2025) and the operational action plan for climate change and health 2026 to 2030 call for the integration of climate information into national disease surveillance and early warning, with progress reported from RC74 in 2027. The Climate Change, Health and Environment (CHE) unit is developing country guidance on integrating climate and disease surveillance, a regional implementation dashboard and national vulnerability and adaptation assessments in priority countries; these workstreams, in progress, provide the entry point for aligning the MCDE initiative with climate-informed surveillance.
