2024 was a big year for raising awareness and ambition in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The United Nations General Assembly’s adopted a new political declaration that set clear targets and mandates across human, animal, and environmental sectors. This month, the Jeddah Commitments and 2nd Plenary of the Multistakeholder Partnership Platform (MSPP) reinforced these calls to action and considered steps toward implementation.

As 2024 comes to a close, the AMR-CC and GARDP are hosting a 60-minute webinar to debrief the successes and challenges of a busy year and weigh near-term and mid-term priorities of the AMR community and consider how to translate a year of ambition into sustained action.
