Abstract

Moving into the next decade, the global health workforce can lead efforts to identify emerging health threats and develop immediate action plans to mitigate adverse effects on community health and well-being. To prepare health workers in their delivery of health education activities, the authors propose three didactic ('train the trainers') approaches: essential 'learning moments', critical analyses of One Health challenges, and the use of innovative real-time visualizations. Health workers' leadership is vital to achieve the targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, to safeguard population health, and ultimately to strengthen global health security.
