🌍 World Environment Day 2026

Our environment is the foundation of health.

From clean air and water to thriving ecosystems and biodiversity, the health of our planet is deeply connected to the health of people and animals. Through the One Health approach, we recognize that environmental protection is not only about conserving nature—it is about safeguarding our shared future.

At SEAOHUN, we believe that building a healthier and more resilient Southeast Asia starts with understanding these connections and empowering the next generation of One Health leaders to take action.

SEAOHUN is THRILLED to announce the nine winning teams of the SEAOHUN 2026 Regional Student Competition: One Health Campus-to-Community (OH-C2C) Challenge! — a region-wide initiative empowering university students to lead community-based projects at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health.

In collaboration with member universities across Southeast Asia and associate countries India and Bangladesh, and made possible through the funding support of Chevron and in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the OH-C2C Challenge invited student teams to propose innovative, community-driven One Health solutions. Nine exceptional teams rose to the top — and we couldn't be prouder!

And to every student who entered — THANK YOU. 💙 A grant may not have come through this time, but your ideas, your drive, and your commitment to One Health are what this movement is made of. Keep going — the region needs you.
