Description
Summary:It discusses the urgent need to address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and provides insights on how to reduce its impact in the future. It highlights the consequences of clinically ineffective antimicrobials for healthcare and agricultural systems, as well as the role of massive antimicrobial use in contributing to AMR in humans, animals, and the environment. The document emphasizes the importance of a just transitions framework for the equitable and sustainable mitigation of AMR, which involves addressing the root causes of AMR and promoting the responsible use of antimicrobials. The authors also call for a coordinated global response to AMR that involves multiple sectors and stakeholders. Overall, it provides valuable information for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working to address the challenge of AMR.
