Just published! The 1-10-100 unifying goals were developed by the Bellagio Group for Accelerating AMR Action to galvanize global policy change and investments for antimicrobial resistance mitigation. Now available in @GHJournal 🔎 bit.ly/4eiD20P

@YUGlobalHealth Profs @PH_ethics_law & @shoffmania, and Adjunct Prof @SuzyRVK, along with other colleagues publish new paper on Analyzing Antimicrobial Resistance as a Series of Collective Action Problems in time for #UNGA's high-level meeting on AMR onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

8/ I’m especially proud of this work, which was written as part of my PhD Dissertation @YUResearch with @gstrategylab. Eternally grateful to @shoffmania , @agathang1 , @clarewenham , & Jennifer Welsh for their insights!

7/ Check out the full paper for free here. This September, let's work together to ensure that AMR is met with the robust, nuanced, and global response it demands. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… #AMR #GlobalHealth #UNGA

3/ AMR is often oversimplified as a single "tragedy of the commons," but our research identifies nine distinct collective action problems that hinder effective governance. Understanding these nuances is crucial for developing comprehensive and effective global policy solutions.

2/ With the upcoming UNGA High-Level Meeting on AMR in September, our paper is a timely resource for global policymakers. We offer a fresh perspective on AMR by analyzing it through the lens of collective action theory, highlighting the complexity of this global challenge.

1/🧵 Excited to announce our latest publication in @PSJ_Editor: "Analyzing Antimicrobial Resistance as a Series of Collective Action Problems." AMR is one of the greatest health threats today, causing over 1.27 million deaths annually.

In the latest Unpacking AMR episode, GSL Investigator @IsaacWeldon explains sustainability in the context of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR), drawing a parallel between AMR and climate change. Tune in here 🎧 bit.ly/3ymoZI3 #UnpackingAMR

The UK government pledged £85M to address #AMR, including £10M for an independent scientific panel. The #AMRPolicy Accelerator has been exploring potential models for what an Independent Panel on Evidence for AMR (IPEA) might look like. Stay tuned for an upcoming policy brief⬇️

#Biodiversity is crucial for planetary health. Biodiversity is also essential in the effort against #AMR. Nature is among our greatest resources for new medicines. Let’s protect the environment and our collective health through bold global cooperation

This #EarthDay, Dr. @IsaacWeldon urges us to remember the vital link between a healthy planet & effective strategies to mitigate antimicrobial resistance (#AMR).🌍 Discover how lessons from climate governance can shape the approach to AMR ➡ bit.ly/3Q9RsGI #EarthDay2024

Day 4: Deep discussions on targets & goals to accelerate #AMR action. We're grateful to the global health & AMR experts who have taken the time to join us this week. Special thanks to @RockefellerFdn for providing a beautiful venue for deep thinking and collaboration. #AMRpolicy

🎉Excited to announce that the publication, "Analysing the ‘follow the science’ rhetoric of government responses to COVID-19," co-authored by Margaret MacAulay, @FafardPatrick, Adèle Cassola, & @m_palkovits, won the Ken Young Prize for excellence in @policy_politics!

🎙️Excited to launch #UnpackingAMR! Today’s episode features @SuzyRVK & @MathieuJPP as they discuss how antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) expands beyond human health & global efforts to address it. 🎧 Listen here: bit.ly/3wwjTYx

The most recent draft of the #PandemicTreaty includes #AntimicrobialResistance but lacks sufficient depth and will likely result in little real progress against AMR. My @gstrategylab colleagues and I discuss how to fix this in our latest commentary. See the TL;DR version below!
