The GSL team is joining several webinars this November, including events for World AMR Awareness Week (November 18–24). Below, you can find a list of events where you can catch GSL researchers this month. We hope you’ll join us!
When: Thursday, 19 November 2026
Time: 13:00–14:15 CET / 7:00–8:15 a.m. ET
GSL participants: Taylor Hecker, Arne Ruckert
One Health governance is central to the AMR policy response, as highlighted in WHO’s recently updated Global Action Plan on AMR. Yet countries have implemented it in markedly different ways, shaped by differences in political systems, institutional capacities, governance traditions, and resources. Emerging evidence suggests that One Health governance success may depend on how governance arrangements are adapted to national contexts while fulfilling essential governance functions.
Join the World Health Organization and the Global Strategy Lab on Thursday, 19 November (13:00–14:15 CET / 7:00–8:15 a.m. ET) for “Context-Specific One Health Governance for Antimicrobial Resistance: Conceptual Framework and Country Experiences.” The session will combine findings from systematic and comparative analyses with practical insights from countries that have put One Health governance to work. Interpretation will be available in French and Portuguese.
When: Thursday, 19 November 2026
Time: 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. ET
GSL participants: Patrick Fafard
The Government of Alberta is pursuing major policy changes that create new opportunities for private delivery and private payment for health care services. What remains to be seen is whether these changes will have an impact on surgical wait times, access to other forms of health care, and whether they are a violation of the Canada Health Act. Join us for a webinar laying a foundation for addressing these questions and more.
Hosted by the University of Ottawa Centre for Health Law, Policy and Ethics. Moderated by Vanessa Gruben, with panellists Patrick Fafard and Lorian Hardcastle.
When: Monday, 23 November 2026
Time: 13:00–14:30 CET / 7:00–8:30 a.m. ET
GSL participants: Mathieu Poirier
On November 23, GSL Director Mathieu Poirier will join the discussion panel for a webinar marking ten years of the Tracking Antimicrobial Resistance Country Self-Assessment Survey (TrACSS), a key global mechanism for monitoring progress in the implementation of national action plans (NAPs) on antimicrobial resistance across human, animal, plant, food and environmental sectors.
The webinar will present key findings from the latest TrACSS data, reflect on trends and progress over the past decade, and explore how country-level reporting, including on the environmental dimensions of AMR can strengthen national monitoring, accountability and implementation of AMR national action plans. Interpretation will be available in French and Spanish.
When: Tuesday, 24 November 2026
Time: 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET / 18:00–19:00 CET
GSL participants: Andy Bulabula
On November 24, GSL Research Associate Andy Bulabula will join a panel hosted by Veterinarians Without Borders (VWB) – North America for World AMR Awareness Week. This webinar will look at where the global response to AMR stands today through a One Health lens, exploring questions like what is making a tangible difference, where implementation continues to fall short, and what must happen next to accelerate progress.
Andy will discuss the foundations needed to turn AMR commitments into sustained action: sustainable financing, One Health coordination backed by clear mandates and accountability, and greater investment in prevention. He will be joined by Saba Tariq, One Health Surveillance Specialist (Pakistan), and Nicolás Winter of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.
