Mit diesem E-Learning Kurs bietet die Pharma-Kampagne Bildungsmaterial zum Thema Antibiotika-Resistenzen. Das Thema ist nicht nur in der Humanmedizin relevant, sondern auch im Bereich Landwirtschaft und Nutztierhaltung, bei der ländlichen Entwicklung, beim Gewässerschutz, der Trinkwasserversorgung... oder der Ernährungssicherheit.
Informative Texte, anschauliche Länderbeispiele und nützliche Links liefern einen umfassenden Überblick über die aktuelle globale Problemlage. Berücksichtigt werden dabei sämtliche Anwendungsbereiche und Errungenschaften, aber auch die verschiedensten Risiken, die mit dem Gebrauch von Antibiotika einhergehen. Ganz im Sinne des OneHealth-Ansatzes werden dabei neben der Humanmedizin auch die Veterinärmedizin, die Antibiotika-Produktion oder auch Umweltaspekte angesprochen.

What at first glance appears to be simple causality – climate change leading to more and more migration – has triggered intense academic debate over the past ten years because the circumstances are complex. There is need for a thorough analysis in the ground between denying the problem and asser...ting immediate causality. In international relations, migration induced by climate change and environmental degradation is increasingly recognized as a problem, whether in the framework of international climate policy, international migration policy, development cooperation, or international crisis management. But considering the dimension of these major challenges, only small steps have been taken so far. The scope of the problem continues to be underestimated. Climate change is jeopardizing the livelihoods of more and more people. It is a risk multiplier.
