Community-based engagement and intervenTions to stem the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the aqUatic environments catalysed by cLImate change and Plastic pollution interactions

Navigating the global nexus of climate, plastic and antimicrobial resistance
Planet-wide, the interplay of climate change, plastic pollution, and antimicrobial resistance poses a profound threat to the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. However, our understanding of how these crises interact is severely limited. In this context, the EU-funded TULIP project aims to unravel the complex connections between plastic pollution and antimicrobial resistance under the influence of a changing climate. Specifically, the project uses advanced methods to understand driving factors and policies, while designing community-based solutions. TULIP transforms evidence into decision-support tools, promoting triple-win solutions for human and ecosystem health. Engaging communities, policymakers, and experts, TULIP focusses on aquatic environments in the Philippines and Italy, with plans for pan-European impact.
