This is the key message of a report released by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) on the environmental dimensions of AMR, which already is taking a serious
toll on the The development and spread of AMR mean that antimicrobials used to prevent and treat infections in humans, animals and Plants might turn ineffective, with modern medicine no longer able to treat even mild infections.Listed by the WHO among the top 10 global threats to Health, it is estimated that in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were directly attributed to drug-resistant infections globally, and 4.95 million deaths worldwide were associated with bacterial AMR (including those directly attributable to AMR).
AMR is expected to cause 10 million additional direct deaths annually by 2050. This equals the number of deaths caused globally by cancer in 2020.
The report highlights a comprehensive set of measures to address both the decline of the environment and the rise of AMR, especially addressing key pollution sources from poor sanitation, sewage, community and municipal wastes.

Myanmar’s military-led government, working with Russia’s state atomic energy company, has inaugurated a nuclear power information center as a step toward developing atomic power to fill energy shortages in the strife-torn Southeast Asian nation.
Myanmar hopes to build and operate a reactor under a preliminary agreement between Myanmar and Rosatom that was signed in 2015, the newspaper said. The two sides signed memorandums of understanding in Moscow in July on Nuclear Energy, training and promotion of public understanding of atomic power.
The development is likely to ignite concerns that Myanmar’s military would like to develop a nuclear weapons capability. There were suspicions a
