The French Committee for Monitoring and Anticipating Health Risks (COVARS) has been strengthening the One Health approach through its interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral composition, the emerging risks it addresses (Covid-19, Mpox, vector-borne diseases, avian influenza...), its holistic approach to risks and its position at the science-decision interface. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the French government established a committee for monitoring and anticipating health risks. In this Comment, the authors describe the One Health approach taken by the committee, and outline its aims, composition, and initial actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
