Climate change and antimicrobial resistance: a global-scale analysis
This study provides robust global evidence that rising temperatures and extreme heat are consistent drivers of AMR, whereas the impact of precipitation is complex and pathogen dependent. These findings underscore the need for climate-informed public health strategies that integrate climate surveillance into AMR action plans to develop targeted interventions against these intertwined global threats.
