Ahead of #WHA79, I joined an important discussion on accelerating action against antimicrobial resistance #AMR, one of the defining health security challenges of our time. AMR is no longer only a technical issue. It is a governance, financing and development challenge that requires stronger political leadership, sustained investment and truly integrated One Health action across human, animal and environmental health. To meet the AMR 2030 targets, we must close the execution gap: translating national plans into enforceable policies as they are only meaningful if they are functional and implementable, strengthening surveillance that drives action, investing in workforce capacity, and building country ownership and self-reliance. Antibiotic effectiveness must be protected as a global public good. Thank you to the Institute of Philanthropy and The Trinity Challenge @TrinityChall for convening this timely dialogue, and to Gabriel Leung @gmleunghku, CEO of the Institute of Philanthropy, and to fellow panelists Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy, Prof. Ilona Kickbusch @IlonaKickbusch, Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin @BudiGSadikin, Jeremy Knox @_Jeremy_Knox, Dr Angkana Lekagul @ASLekagul and Prof. Ren Minghui @RMinghui for the rich exchange.

Communities and civil society are key to an effective global #AMR response. Add your voice to @reactgroup's campaign to raise awareness for #antimicrobialresistance. reactgroup.org/act-on-amr-no…

The Global Goals envision a world of peace and tolerance, where equality, justice, and sustainability are universal. Together, we can build a future where everyone thrives. Let's commit to the #GlobalGoals and create lasting positive change! ✨ globalgoals.org

Wonderful - greetings from former board member @FINDdx

“#Health can be a game changer for #climate action. Health matters for all. We cannot maintain health with more climate disasters, more infectious diseases, increased water scarcity and food insecurity. We need to protect health and the planet.” - @DrTedros @WHO at #COP28

The climate crisis is undermining all of the environmental determinants of health. Learn how #ClimateChange can trigger health emergencies 👇 #COP28

In Antarctica, I saw for myself & heard from scientists how ice loss is accelerating in dangerous ways. Climate change is wreaking havoc. Fossil fuels are the main culprit. At #COP28, leaders must act to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C & end the fossil fuel age.

The rate of global change in nature during the past 50 years is unprecedented in human history. The @ipbes #GlobalAssessment found #pollution to be one of the top five direct drivers of change in nature with the largest global impacts. 📘 ipbes.net/global-assessment Via @IPBES

It's day 5 of #WAAW2023! BSAC's Global Antimicrobial Stewardship Accreditation Scheme (GAMSAS) helps support healthcare organizations to build and sustain robust and measurable AMS programmes. Applications to join Tranche 2 are open now! bsac.org.uk/global-antimicro…

#WAAW2023 Imagine a world without antimicrobials 🙃 💡The discovery of drugs that did wonders in treatment of infections was a big step in health & wellbeing of humans, animals and plants. ⚠️Without them it will be a catastrophe #PreventingAMRTogether #HandleWithCare #CwPAMS

From basic healthcare to advanced technology supported medicine, #antibiotics have become indispensable. However, #AntibioticResistance erodes antibiotic efficiency & the cornerstones have started to crumble. Together we can #KeepAntibioticsWorking! #WAAW2023 #AMR

Join us for our exciting #WAAW2023 webinar! We will be bringing together young advocates & innovators from across Africa to discuss how we can empower youth to take action on #AMR and One Health 🗓️ 23 November ⏰ 19:00-20:15 EAT 📍 Zoom Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

To accelerate SDG achievement, science-based solutions & transformations are critical. On 7/15, join SDSN @SEIresearch @ISC @UNDP & @UNDESA for a special event on evidence-based strategies for the #SDGs. Register here: bit.ly/3JPlywa #ScienceForSDGs #HLPF2023 #ScienceDay

Climate change is accelerating internal migration, caused by sudden & slow-onset impacts which will become more severe over time. Read the #WDR2023 for policy recommendations.
