Itziar Alkorta: The Race Against ‘Superbacteria’: The One Health Approach to the Antibiotics Crisis
Around 30,000 deaths a year due to infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are currently recorded in Europe. If action is not taken, the world is facing a global crisis that could lead to 40 million deaths a year by the middle of the century. As Itziar Alkorta Calvo, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), explained at a Donostia Sustainability Forum event, the key to addressing this crisis lies in the ‘One Health’ concept. This approach recognises that human, animal and environmental health are closely interconnected. ‘We cannot affect one type of health without affecting the others’, Itziar Alkorta stressed.

María C. Uyarra: Blue Schools: The Pathway to Ocean Literacy
At the start of this century, US oceanography experts pinpointed a critical gap in the educational system: marine sciences were barely covered in the classrooms. What began in 2002 as an online conference to address this problem has now become a global movement that seeks to use the ocean culture to transform our relationship with the sea.
