All G7 members recognise antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as requiring a multi-year and multi-stakeholder effort.

All G7 members have committed to expedite the implementation of their existing AMR Action Plans and related strategies, and to take additional specific and appropriate steps to address antibiotic market failure and create the right economic conditions to preserve essential existing antibiotics and ensure their access, strengthen AMR antibiotic research and development, and bring new drugs to market where they meet identified public health needs.

See the Annex for examples of G7 action.
