Join us for this free one-day facilitated workshop, exploring the intersection between climate/environment change and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as converging global challenges. The workshop builds on the 2021 Global Leaders Group on AMR meeting on AMR and the Climate Crisis.
Investigators interested in climate change, climate & health, AMR, and One Health – from all disciplines – are invited to start new conversations, map research interests and strengths, and discuss new collaborations and research communities across the GW4 universities
The UKRI Transdisciplinary funding to tackle AMR pre-announcement (call expected September) highlights the impact of climate change on AMR as a priority topic.
