In 2024, every United Nations Member State endorsed the ‘Political Declaration on Antimicrobial Resistance’. It includes numerous commitments by governments supported by action from others. The Declaration offers multiple opportunities to improve animal health around the world. The strongest consensus amongst nations is around increased prevention.

Countries now have five years to advance the commitment within the Declaration. Demonstrable progress will be critical to maintain momentum for AMR and bold action is needed to bring together stakeholders, generate increased support for greater animal disease prevention and increase the tools available. It will require close collaboration and dialogue across the public and private sector. Efforts must be built on input from the entire value chain to ensure alignment, responsible action and support in addressing AMR.

This document provides metrics to measure progress and proposed actions that public and private sectors should take to advance them.
