Tackling Climate Change and Antimicrobial Resistance: A One Health Imperative

Panel session on Climate Change, One Health & Innovation at the 9th AMR Conference, Basel, Switzerland.

The Hub was proud to bring together a range of experts across the fields of One Health, climate change and infectious diseases to explore the connections between climate change and AMR through a One Health lens, with a focus on how research can inform solutions for human, animal, and environmental health. Thanks to our excellent panelists for a fascinating discussion.

Key messages:

✥Climate and conflict are key amplifiers of the impacts of AMR
✥Context-specific innovation is crucial for impact against AMR – small changes could make a big difference
✥ We need better data and more research to inform climate sensitive health indicators- evidence-based interventions are crucial
✥Be prepared!
