In this episode of Unpacking AMR, we explore the landmark Political Declaration adopted at the 79th United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance. We look at how the Political Declaration came into fruition, what new tools it provides policymakers with, and the gaps that still need to be addressed.  

Join us in a conversation with Julianne Piper, Carly Ching, Isaac Weldon, and Jeremy Grimshaw while they highlight how a collaborative, One Health approach can help safeguard our global pool of antimicrobials for future generations.  

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Susan Rogers Van Katwyk and Dr. Mathieu Poirier as we dive deeper into what antimicrobial resistance really means, how AMR expands beyond human health to animals and infrastructure, and some ways that researchers are currently working with a global, interdisciplinary approach to address this issue.

This summary for the academic publication “Fit for Purpose?” Assessing the Ecological
Fit of the Social Institutions that Globally Govern Antimicrobial Resistance, highlights the need for robust institutions that sustainably manage the social and ecological factors accelerating AMR. It provides 5 design principles for building institutions to better harmonize the relationship between human and microbial ecosystems.
