PG as a global health justice theory joins with the theory of SHG to apply justice principles to health governance. SHG rests on a genuine commitment among global health actors to achieve health justice as opposed to pursuing narrow self, group, or state interests alone. SHG elucidates standards of global and domestic responsibility and accountability for health equity. It proposes a common conceptual and policy framework with a set of distinct but complementary responsibilities for governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, and individuals themselves. In the SHG framework, the state has duties to create conditions in which all individuals have the opportunity to be healthy and to reduce and prevent the shortfall between actual and potential health within their countries. Global actors have a duty to help shape conditions in which countries can develop and flourish and promote the health of their populations.

What does One Health imply for veterinary ethics education? In order to answer this question, we will first have to establish what One Health itself involves. The meaning and scope of One Health, however, cannot be established without reference to its values—whose health matters? Veterinary ethics education is well equipped to facilitate such an open-ended inquiry into multispecies health. One Health also widens the scope of veterinary ethics by making salient, among other fields, environmental ethics, global health justice, and non-Western approaches to ethics. Finally, One Health requires students to engage with interdependence. Discussing three levels of interdependence, we argue that veterinary ethics stands to benefit from a more contemplative pedagogy.
