“…Regardless of this, AMR in environmental source water has been largely overlooked in the past 30 years. This is problematic from a water science and policy perspective as source water protection, which is a significant component of integrated resource management [ 29 , 30 ], is overlooked in global AMR understanding and stewardship as a key preventative measure. These aquatic environments are important to consider in stewardship, as a growing number of studies have identified polluted environmental waters as human, animal, and environmental AMR health threats [ 31 , 32 ]; however, the limited scientific understanding of this reservoir and dissemination pathway is inhibiting the development of stewardship and regulatory measures [ 11 ].…”

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pervasive global health threat linked to human antimicrobial misuse and abuse, food production, and broader environmental contamination. While global agencies promote a multi-sectoral One Health system approach to equitably combat human, animal, and environmental health AMR risks, it is widely acknowledged that the human and animal sectors dominate discussions. Given this disproportionate focus, identification of critical research gaps is needed to develop stewardship plans that equitably address One Health AMR threats. This review used natural language processing and term frequency algorithms to classify 12,638 records from 1990–2020 thematically in order to highlight sectoral prioritization and gaps. It also specifically assessed water-related gaps as water is recognized as both a primary environmental dissemination pathway and key means of intervention. Drawing from systemic health and integrated water management lenses, this review found that themes related to plant, wildlife, and environmental-related AMR threats—in particular, the role that environmental (ambient) waters play in AMR development, transmission, and spread—are under-prioritized as compared to human and food animal health concerns regardless of geographic region or income level. Further prioritization of these themes is needed to strengthen the environmental dimension of One Health AMR responses and systemically protect global health.

“…In addition, the gases emitted into the atmosphere were significantly reduced during the initial period of confinement, when economic and business activity in non-essential services was halted [157,158]. This has turned out to be a global economic catastrophe [159,160]. The effects in many areas will be visible over the coming years.…”

Sustainable Development Goals in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Narrative Review

et al. 2022

The present narrative review aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sustainable development goals (SDGS). This information would allow a better comprehension of the actual state of the SDGS and a more efficient programming in future interventions. To achieve the objective of the study, a consensual and critical review was carried out using both primary sources, such as scientific articles, and secondary sources, such as bibliographic indexes, web pages and databases. The Sustainable Development Goals are a global call to action to end poverty, close the gender gap, protect the planet, and improve the lives of people around the world. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted 17 goals as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which sets out a plan to achieve the goals in 15 years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has been a turning point in the achievement of these goals, due to all its consequences at the political, economic, and socio-cultural levels. This review can be used as a guide for future research and reviews in order to understand the status of each of the SDGs and what actions have been taken and proposed in the aftermath of the pandemic in recent years.

SummaryWeltweit ist eine Zunahme infektiöser Erkrankungen (Emergence Infectious Diseases, EID) zu beobachten. Zuletzt hat die Covid-19-Pandemie für massive Einschnitte des gesellschaftlichen Lebens auf allen Kontinenten gesorgt. Es gibt über 500 Millionen registrierte Infektionen und mehr als 6 Millionen Todesfälle zu beklagen. Die Pandemie hat darüber hinaus die politischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Systeme relevant beeinflusst. Die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse deuten stark darauf hin, dass der Verlust der Biodiversität und das zunehmende Ungleichgewicht der Ökosysteme die EID begünstigen und beschleunigen. Die beispiellose Degradierung der natürlichen Systeme unseres Planeten durch das menschliche Handeln ist nach aktueller Erkenntnis nicht nur mit dem Klimawandel eng verknüpft, sondern in großem Umfang mit EID. Wissenschaftler in staatlichen und nicht-staatlichen interdisziplinären Organisationen und Verbünden fordern deshalb eine radikale und bedingungslose Umstellung menschlichen Handelns mit dem obersten Ziel, die Biodiversität und die natürlichen ökologischen Systeme zu schützenDieser Beitrag referiert 4 Schlüssel-Publikationen und einen journalistischen Beitrag zu unterschiedlichen Gesichtspunkten des Zusammenhangs zwischen Covid-19-Pandemie, Biodiversität und Ökosystemen.
