Jean-Marc Bonmatin member of the Inter-Agency Working Group «One Health»
Comprising around sixty members, this working group brings together more than thirty French partners (including CNRS, INRAE, INSERM, ANSES, CEA, IRD, CIRAD, BRGM, etc.). Its purpose is to share results and provide general guidelines for future research.
The One Health Working Group, created in 2025, is part of the ‘Climate, Biodiversity and Sustainable Societies’ programme agency which has been entrusted to the CNRS in 2024 by the Minister for Higher Education and Research and the Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion.

J.-M. Bonmatin is involved in the working group's second area of focus, which concerns overseas territories. French overseas territories are intensive models, as they are home to high biodiversity, fragile populations, with extreme climatic conditions and significant pollution due to human activities (e.g. the pesticide chlordecone in the West Indies).
