“…Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an up-surging complex global health challenge (Garner et al 2019 ; Lemery et al 2021 ). Health professionals across the globe are extremely worried due to this phenomenon that has critical potential to reverse almost all the progress that has been achieved so far in the health discipline (Gosling and Arnell 2016 ).…”

Climate change is a long-lasting change in the weather arrays across tropics to polls. It is a global threat that has embarked on to put stress on various sectors. This study is aimed to conceptually engineer how climate variability is deteriorating the sustainability of diverse sectors worldwide. Specifically, the agricultural sector’s vulnerability is a globally concerning scenario, as sufficient production and food supplies are threatened due to irreversible weather fluctuations. In turn, it is challenging the global feeding patterns, particularly in countries with agriculture as an integral part of their economy and total productivity. Climate change has also put the integrity and survival of many species at stake due to shifts in optimum temperature ranges, thereby accelerating biodiversity loss by progressively changing the ecosystem structures. Climate variations increase the likelihood of particular food and waterborne and vector-borne diseases, and a recent example is a coronavirus pandemic. Climate change also accelerates the enigma of antimicrobial resistance, another threat to human health due to the increasing incidence of resistant pathogenic infections. Besides, the global tourism industry is devastated as climate change impacts unfavorable tourism spots. The methodology investigates hypothetical scenarios of climate variability and attempts to describe the quality of evidence to facilitate readers’ careful, critical engagement. Secondary data is used to identify sustainability issues such as environmental, social, and economic viability. To better understand the problem, gathered the information in this report from various media outlets, research agencies, policy papers, newspapers, and other sources. This review is a sectorial assessment of climate change mitigation and adaptation approaches worldwide in the aforementioned sectors and the associated economic costs. According to the findings, government involvement is necessary for the country’s long-term development through strict accountability of resources and regulations implemented in the past to generate cutting-edge climate policy. Therefore, mitigating the impacts of climate change must be of the utmost importance, and hence, this global threat requires global commitment to address its dreadful implications to ensure global sustenance.

“…The data presented to summarize the findings of these methods varied for each study. Data were presented in terms of number of contigs containing an ARG (Chopyk et al, 2020), log gene copies normalized to 16S rRNA genes (Garner et al, 2018(Garner et al, , 2019Zhang et al, 2020), and percent of isolates resistant (Limayem et al, 2019). Authors typically noted the most abundant resistance classes and ARGs, which are summarized in Table 3 along with other key parameters reported.…”

“…However, few studies have examined the potential link between use of recycled water and human health outcomes related to ARB and ARG exposure. While direct potable reuse (i.e., use of treated wastewater for augmenting water supplies used for human consumption) represents the most direct pathway to human exposure to ARB and ARGs via reuse applications, this water is highly treated and the limited data available to date suggest that abundances of ARB and ARGs are low (Garner et al ., 2019). Non‐potable reuse also presents potential routes of human exposure, such as via inhalation of aerosols generated during cooling or irrigation.…”

Risk assessment is critical for identifying target concentrations of antibiotic resistant pathogens necessary for mitigating potential harmful exposures associated with water reuse. However, there is currently limited available data characterizing the concentrations of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in recycled water to support robust efforts at risk assessment. The objective of this systematic review was to identify and synthesize the existing literature documenting the presence and abundance of ARB and ARGs in recycled water. In addition, this review identifies best practices and explores monitoring targets for studying ARB and ARGs in recycled water to guide future work and identifies key research needs aimed at better supporting quantitative microbial risk assessment focused on recycled water and antibiotic resistance. Future efforts to collect data about ARB and ARG prevalence in recycled water should report concentration data per unit volume. Sample metadata should also be provided, including a description of treatment approach, a description of planned water uses (e.g., potable, irrigation), methods for conveyance to the point of use, and available physicochemical water quality data. Additional research is needed aimed at identifying recommended ARB and ARG monitoring targets and for developing approaches to incorporate metagenomic data into risk assessment.

“…3 Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on mobile genetic elements can be acquired by pathogens in the human gut, [4][5][6] creating risks for vulnerable populations that are exposed to ARGs. 7 ARGs have been detected in various water environments including groundwater, 8 surface water, 2,9 drinking water treatment plants, 10,11 and tap drinking water [12][13][14] at concentrations up to 10 10 copies per L. 11 Consequently, it is becoming increasingly important to quantify ARGs in exposure routes that directly convey ARGs to people, including drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). [15][16][17] ARGs in tap water have been shown to increase from the drinking water treatment plant effluent to the tap.…”
