IPC in the Environmental sector
Objectives
Map existing interventions that reduce emissions of AMR, directly or indirectly, resulting from human and animal activities to the environment across participating countries (e.g. advanced wastewater or manure treatment methods).

Identify and evaluate country best practices for potential implementation across Europe.
Key achievements
A survey has been developed by a working group containing technical, financial, operational, governance and regulatory aspects on environmental interventions at country level, including definitions of such interventions and contextualization with current EU legislations.
Survey on advanced WASTEWATER interventions that contribute to the reduction of emission of AMR determinants to the environment
Survey on MANURE interventions that contribute to the reduction of emission of AMR determinants to the environment
Survey on SLUDGE interventions that contribute to the reduction of emission of AMR determinants to the environment
Survey on OTHER interventions that contribute to the reduction of emission of AMR determinants to the environment
Identification of and dissemination to target respondents across public and private sectors was initiated by each country, including governments, national agencies, professionals, scientific community and industries, among others.
Outcome(s)
Results of the survey are expected in fall 2025, contributing to a list of innovative measures to reduce emission of AMR to the environment across member states. Increased awareness about the emission of AMR and antibiotic residues into the environment via (the use of) waste streams. Good collaborations across all environmental work packages of JAMRAI.
Next steps
In depth evaluation of the results of the survey and literature review concerning the efficiency of example measures and interventions stemming from the survey.
