Join us for a 1.5-day public workshop that will examine the interaction of economic activity and microbial threats, including infectious disease outbreaks and antimicrobial resistance.

We will also explore approaches to incorporating estimates of infectious disease risk to overall macroeconomic assessments of economic growth in countries to incentivize actions that minimize these threats.
