Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized as one of the greatest global threats to the health of humans and animals, plants and ecosystems as well as a threat to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In our globally connected world, resistance to antimicrobials may spread and circulate among humans, animals, plants and the environment, necessitating a “One Health” approach.
This research agenda was developed by the Quadripartite organizations – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) AMR Division and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) under the coordination of the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat (QJS) on AMR.
