This report focuses on how the environmental dimension is incorporated in One Health (OH) with a specific focus on SLU researchers. The material largely confirms the assumption that the environmental dimension is modestly included but also highlight that there are challenges to incorporating it. A conceptual analysis supplemented by empirical material provides the foundation for recommendations to solidify the inclusion of the environmental dimension of OH at SLU. Recommendations are provided throughout the report. Starting with noting a core ambiguity in the OH concept allowing both a wide and a narrow interpretation, four conditions of the definition are identified: The Unification condition, the Aim condition, the Sustainability condition, and the Health condition. The conditions are used analytically to scrutinize how they can be balanced, before proceeding with a discussion on how the environmental dimension can be assessed and included. Before summarizing the report, contrasts between the findings at SLU and existing research on how the OH concept has been implemented at Swedish governmental agencies will be discussed with a specific focus on the environmental dimension.
