Which of the following is a global challenge with One Welfare?

• A. Cultural differences
• B. Policy gaps
• C. Limited resources
• D. Availability of vaccines

Answer: (C)

One Welfare looks at how the welfare of people, animals, and the environment are interconnected. Globally, a major obstacle is limited resources that prevent comprehensive welfare action. When funds, personnel, and supplies are scarce, it’s hard to provide veterinary care, vaccination, shelter, and education, and to support communities facing poverty or disaster. This resource constraint affects both human health and animal welfare, making it the overarching global challenge. Cultural differences, policy gaps, and vaccine availability can shape how programs work, but they don’t represent the same universal, systemic barrier that running out of resources does across diverse settings.
