环境（包括气候）变化与几种重要传染病的（再）出现以及分布和流行潜力的变化有关。在某些情况下，这种联系是相对直接的，涉及将天真的人类和其他生物类群暴露于陌生的病原体。在其他情况下，例如由于共同感染和/或营养不良，人们的流动，生态扰乱，药物抗药性或免疫力减弱，使关系变得混乱。这些日益严重的健康挑战正在推动涉及新兴技术以及新方法，新系统和跨学科伙伴关系的创新对策，从而为研究和有效的预防，诊断和缓解措施开辟新途径。

跨学科方法和技术的创新将是本次会议的核心。跨领域主题将包括新技术（例如大数据，人工智能，模型）；综合多学科方法；联合国可持续发展目标。早期职业研究人员在激动人心，动态的环境变化与健康关系领域中的机会将得到重点强调和促进。我们认识到，人类，野生和家畜的健康与环境之间有着千丝万缕的联系，而“一个健康”的跨学科方法是解决这些问题的必不可少的方法。这样，新的合作联盟将成为会议的主要目标。
