Upcoming events
Global Leaders Group at COP28 - UNEP Pavilion
Expo City , Dubai
UNEP Pavilion
Add to:
AMR and environment: Linking AMR and the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity and nature loss, and pollution and waste.
Evidence suggests that changes occurring in the natural environment due to the climate crisis are increasing the spread of infectious disease, including drug-resistant infections. AMR contributes to almost 5 million deaths annually, most of which are in low- and middle-income countries. AMR poses serious threats to human, animal, plant and environmental health, food safety, food security, development, and pandemic prevention preparedness and response, as drug-resistant bacteria can circulate through food and the environment. Aligned with UNEP's publication 'Bracing for Superbugs,' the dialogue will explore environmental dimensions of AMR, with focus on the UNGA High-level Meeting on AMR in 2024.
