Theme: One Health — Advancing Global AMR Commitments through Local Action

The 5th High-Level Ministerial Conference on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) will take place under the theme “One Health: Advancing Global AMR Commitments through Local Action.” This theme highlights a shared global responsibility — to turn words into action and transform international commitments into real progress on the ground.

At its heart, One Health is about connection. It recognises that the health of people, animals, plants, and the environment are deeply linked, and that solving one part of the AMR challenge means addressing them all. The conference will bring together leaders, policymakers, scientists, and communities to discuss how global ambition can translate into local impact — especially in low- and middle-income countries where innovation, access, and equity are most urgently needed.

Driving Action Through Collaboration

This year’s focus is on action, equity, innovation, and sustainability — moving beyond pledges to track real implementation and accountability. Discussions will spotlight the persistent gaps in access to essential antimicrobials, diagnostics, and preventive measures, and explore new tools, partnerships, and financing models that can close them.

The conference will also celebrate success stories from around the world — from digital solutions improving surveillance to locally led financing models that strengthen healthcare and governance systems.

Key Goals

  • Review progress on global AMR commitments, including the 2024 UNGA Political Declaration, and build shared accountability through the Troika process newly established during the 4th HLM on AMR in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

  • Highlight innovation and leadership from countries implementing their National Action Plans (NAPs) with creativity and local insight.

  • Strengthen collaboration across human, animal, plant, and environmental health sectors to advance a true One Health approach.

  • Agree on bold, forward-looking actions that set the course for lasting, sustainable progress against AMR.

By centring local action within global ambition, the conference invites every participant to play a part in building a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable One Health future.
