From September 24-26th GSL’s Director Mathieu Poirier and Director of Global Engagement Julia Bishop attended UN General Assembly side events and the High-level Meeting on AMR in New York City.
The High-level Meeting has been widely seen as a critical agenda-setting moment for coordinated global response to AMR. In the months leading up to the meeting, the AMR Policy Accelerator team spearheaded an expert convening, policy research, and knowledge mobilization efforts to contribute to discussions and debates on AMR policy in the areas of developing unifying global goals and the design of a scientific panel on AMR.
