The GLG, chaired by Interim Chair Hon. Minister @jakobforssmed, held an information session today ahead of the 5th Global High-Level Ministerial Conference on AMR, taking place in Abuja, Nigeria, on 6–8 December 2026.

The session provided an opportunity to:

🔹 Take stock of progress in preparations for the Conference and reaffirm the importance of sustained political leadership to accelerate implementation of global AMR commitments.

🔹 Emphasize the need for an action-oriented Abuja Compact, with concrete commitments and clear responsibilities, particularly on AMR prevention, One Health coordination, health systems strengthening and sustainable financing.

🔹 Advocate for stronger global AMR governance, including greater coherence among existing mechanisms and more impactful ministerial conferences to sustain political momentum, strengthen accountability and drive implementation.

As the @FAO Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood System is ongoing, we remind that turning #OneHealth into action across agrifood systems is critical to tackling AMR.

The GLG has consistently called for transforming food systems to reduce the need for #antimicrobialsand promote their responsible and sustainable use. Read the GLG position paper on antimicrobial use in food systems here: https://t.co/XwFzqSuj7e #AMR #FoodSystems #ActOnAMR

Fungal diseases and antifungal resistance remain an under-recognized but growing global health challenge.

The new WHO Blueprint for Strengthening Responses to Fungal Disease and Antifungal Resistance provides countries with practical guidance to strengthen prevention, surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, and research through a coordinated One Health approach.

The Global Leaders Group on AMR welcomes this important guidance and encourages governments, partners, and stakeholders to support its implementation and help strengthen national responses. #AMR #AntifungalResistance #FungalDiseases #OneHealth #ActOnAMR

A renewed global framework to accelerate action on antimicrobial resistance.

The updated Global Action Plan on AMR (2026–2036) has now been adopted by Member States at the World Health Assembly and by @WOAH delegates at the 93rd General session, marking a major step forward in delivering the commitments of the 2024 UN General Assembly Political Declaration on AMR.

The GLG welcomes this achievement and thanks Member States, the Quadripartite organizations, and all stakeholders for their leadership and engagement, and remains committed to advancing the political leadership needed to preserve the effectiveness of #antimicrobials for current and future generations. #OneHealth #WHA79 #AMR

The priority now is implementation, translating commitments into action, mobilizing sustainable financing, strengthening accountability, and supporting countries to deliver impact across sectors. https://t.co/bqxBFdVdt7
