The FIP Copenhagen Declaration on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) was signed today during the plenary session “Acting together for One Health: Strengthening global collaboration to combat AMR” at the FIP world congress in Denmark: https://www.fip.org/file/6345. This call to action was co-signed by FIP president Paul Sinclair, Stine Hasling Mogensen, Chairman of Pharmadanmark; and Jesper Gulev Larsen, president of the Association of Danish Pharmacies. The declaration outlines clear priorities to address antimicrobial resistance, including global partnership building, promoting vaccination and rational antimicrobial use, protecting medicine supply chains, and advancing evidence on stewardship and outcomes. It reaffirms the vital role of pharmacists in safeguarding the effectiveness of antimicrobials and strengthening health systems against this critical global threat. This declaration was supported by 75 FIP member organisations: https://www.fip.org/news?news=newsitem&newsitem=664
