Here are some key takeaways from the CSE webinar held during World AMR Awareness Week 2024, featuring AMR focal points from Africa and Asia -Prevention aspects in the declaration need to be aligned to the existing policies of the countries. This will help achieve the common goal as placed by the declaration.  -There is a need to leverage enforcement of issues linked to prevention. AMR is a behavioural issue and needs proper regulation to check practices. If the UNGA declaration and its issues are to be digested well by policymakers, then some of the issues can be added in the checklist that agencies use.  -Awareness of the public and farmers, as well as training of stakeholders, professional health-workers, both in the human and animal sectors, is very important to prevent AMR. -Access to high-quality clean water and safe drinking water, particularly in LMICs, can help prevent disease and AMR. There is therefore a need to prioritise investment in providing funding for basic health infrastructure and deliberate capacity building and empowerment of regulators.  -The global narrative towards addressing AMR is changing towards prevention. Political declaration ensures a very good emphasis on the preventative aspects of AMR, not just in human health but also in animal and environment sectors. It is affordable, logical and gives high returns on investment. writes Gauri Arora https://lnkd.in/gkrprZ-T Rajeshwari Sinha, PhD

I am in Busan, South Korea to follow the planned final round of negotiations to end plastic pollution with my amazing colleagues Atin Biswas and MOU SENGUPTA The last month has been eventful. We spent a lot of time understanding and disseminating the information we gathered from within India, as well as other parts of the world, and linked them with critical provisions of the existing treaty text. I will be sharing our work in the comments section for folks interested in India: I know a lot of you are :) I am following key articles in the treaty negotiations- global criteria for products, chemicals, financing…. and would be happy to share, discuss and learn more. Grateful and proud of the team at Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi for pulling off what we did over the last few months- Shrotik Bose Aniket Chandra Minakshi S. Kuldeep Choudhary Kaifee Jawed Dr. Tribhuwan Singh Bisht For starters, here is CSE’s press release on how India can lead the world to a global criteria on (single use plastic) products.

Global Plastic profiles: Is there a just transition in plastics? A multi-faceted approach to just transition seeks to ensure no group is left behind in the global shift toward sustainability. Writes Siddharth Ghanshyam Singh The concept of a “just transition” represents a socio-economic framework designed to guide the shift away from plastic-dependent industries toward sustainable alternatives while ensuring equity and inclusivity. This approach addresses the social and economic impacts of the transition, such as job losses and economic disruptions, by offering support to affected workers and communities. It places particular emphasis on marginalised or vulnerable groups, including informal waste workers, ensuring they are not disproportionately affected by industry changes. Inclusive decision-making and equitable access to resources are central to this framework, promoting social justice throughout the transition process. https://lnkd.in/gt4iJi9R Atin Biswas MOU SENGUPTA

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) poses a growing global threat. Observed from November 18–24, #WAAW underscores the need for urgent, collective action. As part of this year’s CSE's campaign theme—‘Prevent AMR’—we reached out to experts worldwide, inviting them to share their ‘AMR Prevention Asks.’ These messages highlight actionable steps to combat AMR across various sectors, emphasizing the importance of prevention in addressing this silent pandemic.

How did Antimicrobial Resistance come into existence and what can we do to fix it? In 1928, at St. Mary's Hospital, London, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. This led to the introduction of antibiotics, which has since shaped human history. However, like many times in our human history, our boons have been exhausted to the point where they turn into banes. The growing issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one such classic example where unsustainable practices are leading to a human-induced disaster.
