Shared Planet, Shared Threats: Advancing One Health Solutions Across Ecosystems, Animals and Communities

Human health doesn't exist in isolation. Neither do its solutions.

Protecting lung health means looking beyond hospitals and healthcare systems. It means understanding how human health, animal health and our environment are connected, and why collaboration across disciplines has never been more important.

This plenary explores the links between zoonotic tuberculosis, H5N1, environmental change and the impact of Amazonian forest fires, highlighting why the future of lung health depends on a truly One Health approach.

The biggest health challenges can't be solved in isolation. Neither can their solutions.

Be part of the conversation in Rio.

Register before 31 July to secure Early Bird rates.

The Vaccine Lifecycle: Advancing Translational Science, Equity and Community Confidence

The science doesn't end with discovery.

A breakthrough in the lab is only the beginning.

The real challenge is turning scientific discovery into protection that reaches people, earns public confidence and changes lives.

This plenary explores the full vaccine journey, from accelerating the development of new TB vaccines to strengthening equitable access, improving RSV prevention and addressing the growing challenge of vaccine confidence.

Because scientific breakthroughs only reach their full potential when they reach the people who need them most.

Join the conversation in Rio.

Register before 31 July to secure Early Bird rates.
