The article outlines the One Health concept as a transdisciplinary approach to addressing the significant public health threats resulting from the accelerated pace of climate change. The authors analyse climate change’s direct and indirect effects on human health, examining the potential impact on fertility and birth rates. They explore the relationship between uncertainty for the future, deriving from climate risk too, and the choice to preserve the oocytes for nonmedical reasons. Additionally, the paper underscores the crucial role of the EU Institution in operationalizing the One Health approach via an extensive policy framework. It specifically examines the EU Nature Restoration Law, emphasising the safeguarding and rehabilitating of biodiversity to provide co-benefits for human health and climate change adaptation.
