Upcoming Webinar: Antimicrobial resistance as an emerging concern – is our wastewater treatment enough?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is often framed as a medical issue — but growing evidence shows the environment plays a much larger role than previously understood. In particular, wastewater has emerged as a key contributor to the spread and evolution of resistant microbes, raising important questions about how we manage environmental contamination and public health risks.

Join us for a technical webinar that explores how wastewater contamination contributes to the development of more dangerous resistant pathogens. We’ll hear about the science behind the environmental drivers of antimicrobial resistance, and why a focus solely on chemical contaminants in soil may no longer be enough to protect human health.

This session will challenge traditional thinking and highlight the urgent need to reconsider how we manage wastewater — not just for environmental reasons, but as a critical line of defence in the global effort to slow antimicrobial resistance.
