Roadmap for action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

AMR can only be addressed through a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating human and animal health as well as environmental perspectives. EU and national decision-makers must therefore adopt a true ‘One Health’ approach in their actions to tackle AMR, requiring better coordination between Member State Ministries, Commission Directorates, EU agencies and European Parliament Committees.

5 key strategies and targets to tackle AMR

The signatories of this Roadmap call for the implementation of 5 key strategies and targets to tackle AMR:

1. Set targets and performance indicators
2. Help countries mobilise resources for better implementation of national AMR policies
3. Close the existing collaboration gap between civil society and EU policy-makers
4. Put prevention at the heart of AMR policy-making
5. Tackle the environmental dimension of AMR in the framework of the European Green Deal
