UNGA 2024 and the AMR HLM:
Pre-Meeting Reports and Post-Meeting Notes

The HLM has now happened, but I am going to keep this webpage going (at least for now) as it is useful repository. Helpful post-HLM materials include the following:

  1. The 1 Oct 2024 newsletter for my review of the events at the HLM.
  2. CDC’s post-UNGA blog post (also available as a .pdf of their nearly identical 4 Oct 2024 post-UNGA summary email). CDC’s summary provides informative highlights from several AMR-related side-meetings. 
  3. WHO’s 4 Oct 2024 AMR email summary. In addition to just being a good tour of WHO’s diverse array of activities, it starts with a quick overview of the HLM and then points to next steps (e.g., the November 2024 Ministerial meeting in Saudi Arabia).
  4. An excellent 9 Oct 2024 blog post from Ramanan Laxminarayan’s One Health Trust that provides a very detailed summaries of several of the side events. Lots of photos, lots of summarized commentary … really gives a good sense of the meetings.

During the run-up to the HLM (High-Level Meeting) on AMR during UNGA 2024 (the UN General Assembly, September 2024, see the 15 Apr 2023 newsletter for details), I thought it would be useful to have a list of major reports that had been released to inform those discussions. I am sure I am going to miss things (at least initially), so please drop me a note (john.rex@amr.solutions) if you want to see something added to this list. Thanks, —jr
