At the occasion of the GRF One Health Summit 2012 at 21 February 2012, Mike Manfredo, Director of the Human Dimensions and Natural Resources  Department at the CSU’s Warner College of Natural Resources in Fort Collins, U.S.A. and Walter J. Ammann, President of the Global Risk Forum GRF Davos have signed a Letter of Interest and have thus formalized a collaboration which exists already for some years in the field of risk management, sustainability and natural resources management, in particular in the fields of DLDD (desertification, land degradation and drought) as a tripartite effort together with UNCCD. CSU and GRF Davos want to strengthen their collaboration in the future, addressing also One Health topics.
