While animal production contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, animal health is also affected by climate change. In 2021, the World Organisation for Animal Health nurtured links between animal health management and climate change actions in response to this growing crisis.<\/p>\n

Building Veterinary Services\u2019 climate resilience<\/h2>\n

Climate change affects animal health in different ways. It alters habitats, water, and feed accessibility, but also triggers fluctuations in animal disease epidemiology. Unusual severe rainfalls, for instance, may have been associated with anthrax outbreaks<\/a> in some areas of Europe, previously free of the disease for decades. By disrupting natural ecosystems, the evolution of climatic patterns allows for dangerous bacteria, viruses, fungi, and disease-transmitting vectors, such as mosquitos and ticks, to reach new areas where they may cause harm to wildlife and domestic animals.<\/p>\n

Increased temperatures in marine and aquatic systems also threaten fisheries and aquaculture. When water temperatures increase, its quality declines as harmful algae proliferate, decreasing water oxygen levels. This, in turn, leads to reduced feeding and growth, all of which can increase the incidence of diseases.<\/p>\n

For these reasons, climate change is inherently an animal health issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To ensure better preparedness and response to this global threat, the Organisation has increased its focus on climate change.<\/strong> In August 2021, we published a Scientific and Technical Review<\/a><\/em> to assist Members and the international community in becoming better prepared to survive and thrive in the uncertain years to come.<\/p>\n

In October 2021, we have also raised awareness on how the control of animal diseases, such as peste des petits ruminants (PPR),<\/a> can contribute to climate resilience by co-organising a webinar<\/a> prior to the global climate summit (preCOP26). Healthy goats, that tolerate climate extremes and poor-quality forage, can act as buffers for household consumption and income during climate shocks such as drought. Eradicating PPR, which threatens over 80% of the sheep and goats\u2019 global population, would be a key milestone: this is the aim of the PPR Global Eradication programme.<\/a><\/p>\n

Monitoring the effects of climate change on animal health<\/h2>\n

Surveillance is also key in responding to the challenges climate change poses to animal health. Our World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS<\/a>) helps strengthen the resilience of Veterinary Services when it comes to addressing the health effects of climate change.<\/strong> By providing health data to anticipate high-risk situations and respond with early interventions, WAHIS helps prevent and prepare for health events at the human\u2013animal\u2013ecosystem interface. It also provides information to identify changes in the distribution of diseases such as Lumpy Skin Disease (see below), as well as the associated drivers, contributing to reduce vulnerabilities to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n

We encourage our Members to immediately report new outbreaks linked to climatic events, enabling them to access timely information and better prevent the spread of animal diseases worldwide.<\/p>\n
