Bracing for Superbugs: Strengthening Environmental Action in the One Health Response to Antimicrobial Resistance

This report describes One Health’s response to antimicrobial resistance and provides evidence that the environment plays a key role in the development, transmission and spread of AMR. Prevention is at the core of the action and the environment is a key part of the solution.

It also analyzes the three economic sectors and their value chains that are key drivers of AMR development and spread in the environment: pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, agriculture and food, and healthcare, together with pollutants from poor sanitation, sewage and waste effluent in municipal systems.
