Previous Global Future Council on the Future of Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance

Council mission and objectives
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is already a leading cause of death globally, higher than HIV/AIDS or malaria. What novel approaches are needed to accelerate effective action on AMR?
The World Economic Forum will approach AMR through multifaceted efforts inclusive of the GFC on Tackling AMR Resistance, the Unified Coalition for the AMR Response (UCARES) Initiative, and the launch of a Davos Compact with the goal to unlock sustainable and synergistic financing from both public and private sources to reduce the global deaths associated with AMR, saving more than 100 million lives by 2050
