In a bold step toward climate action, leading microbiology societies and organisations have unveiled their first joint global strategy to harness the power of microbial science in addressing the climate crisis. This landmark strategy has been published across 6 scientific journals, including Sustainable Microbiology.
Global microbiology organisations including Applied Microbiology International (AMI) have called for urgent action to put microbes at the heart of climate change mitigation, in a high-level panel discussion chaired by AMI Chief Executive, Dr Lucy Harper.
Microbiologists need to seize opportunities to engage with policymaking in order to move towards better, more scientifically informed policy that serves the common good, a new paper published in Sustainable Microbiology urges.
Applied Microbiology International (AMI) has welcomed the UK government’s new national action plan on antimicrobial resistance to protect people and animals from the risk of drug-resistant infections.
