40 YEARS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR A HEALTHY WORLD – THE PAST AND THE NOW
Alexander Lohner / Misereor
More than 150 participants from 11 countries have been with us from April 30 th to 1st of May: Representatives from numerous NGOs, experts as well as decision makers who are engaged in different sectors. We were more than happy about that because the issue of antibiotic resistance requires an international, holistic and transsectoral approach. Resistant antimicrobials threaten human and animal health as well as the environment. All these three sectors are closely interrelated. The One Health approach needs networking, discussion and joint action. And that was exactly what we have been doing: changing information, sharing best practices, keeping each other updated and working together on solutions.

RESISTENZEN OHNE GRENZEN – GLOBALE VERANTWORTUNG FORDERT LOKALES HANDELN
Peter Tinnemann / Institut für Sozialmedizin, Epidemiologie und Gesundheitsökonomie, Charité BerlinBeim Thema Antibiotika-Resistenzen steht bisher vor allem die Humanmedizin im Fokus, zunehmend auch die Tiermedizin. Die Landwirtschaft und erst recht die Umwelt werden jedoch weitgehend ignoriert und kommen in den Aktionsplänen kaum vor. Das untergräbt nicht nur den One-Health-Ansatz, es verzögert auch effektives Handeln. Gefragt ist mehr Politik-Kohärenz. Beschlüsse und Gesetze müssen in allen relevanten Politikfeldern her – im Bereich Lebensmittelsicherheit und Verbraucherschutz ebenso wie in der Landwirtschaft oder im Umweltschutz. Ob und wie das gelingen kann, haben wir mit EntscheidungsträgerInnen aus NRW diskutiert.
