World leaders commit to decisive action on antimicrobial resistance

Global leaders have approved a declaration at the 79th UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), committing to reducing bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by 10% by 2030. The declaration also calls for sustainable national financing and US$100 million in catalytic funding to achieve at least 60% of countries funding national action plans by 2030. The Quadripartite, including FAO, UNEP, WHO, and WOAH, welcome the declaration, recognizing the need for a One Health approach.
