Over the past several months, ARMoR has worked alongside the G7 Research Group at the University of Toronto to assess the compliance of G7 countries with their commitments on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The purpose of these reports are to provide transparency and accountability to the commitments made at these annual G7 summits.
Methods: Compliance was measured on a three-point scientific scale. A score of +1 (100%) indicates full compliance with a commitment, a score of 0 (50%) indicates partial compliance or a work in progress, and a score of −1 (0%) indicates non-compliance or a failure to comply or action taken that is counter to the commitment. Overall, countries averaged 58% compliance over all four analyses.
Results: The United Kingdom had the highest levels of commitment across all four analyses, averaging 100%, followed by the European Union (88%) and then the United States (75%). Italy had the lowest average at 25%. Countries achieved the highest levels of commitment for the Push and Pull Incentives for Research and Development (2023) commitment with an average compliance of 75% and the lowest levels of compliance for the Multi-Ministerial Action (2021) commitment with an average of 38%.
