AMR and AR: Antimicrobial Resistance and Augmented Reality

Global Strategy Lab 2024: Unifying Goals on AMR: Saving Lives and Livelihoods

The Global Strategy Lab's AMR Policy Accelerator posted a rallying call in the lead-up to the September 2024 United Nations General Assembly High-level Meeting on AMR.

"It’s time for bold action on AMR!

...We need bold action on AMR from UN Member States to set unifying goals that:

promote equity by prioritizing the prevention of infections and sustainable access to life-saving treatments,
take a multisectoral approach across human, animal, plant, and environmental sectors,
motivate countries to develop context and sector-specific targets to achieve the unifying goals, and
can be easily understood and used to communicate the need for bold political action on AMR.

AMR is often communicated in technical terms with little attention paid to informing the public of the risks of AMR and what can be done to address it. Unifying goals on AMR could increase engagement with the public, patients, and communities affected by AMR by providing a barometer on progress, similar to the 2 degree unifying goal used in climate change communication."
