Abstract
Climate change along with infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance are imposing threat to public health globally. Climate change mediates frequent rise in antimicrobial resistance leading to the emergence of zoonotic vectors. Both climate change and AMR contribute significantly to global morbidity and mortality and impose burden on the healthcare sector. Overexploitation of antimicrobials in various sectors causes broader dissemination of AMR. Therefore, the application of a holistic "One Health Approach" is required to combat both climate change and antimicrobial resistance. Increasing public awareness about the negative consequences of climate change and antimicrobial resistance is essential. Also, the discovery of new antimicrobials has become the need of the present world. The application of metagenomics has the potential to shed light on microbial community dynamics (taxonomic abundance and predominant biochemical pathways) in response to climate change. The application of modern tools like functional metagenomics has the potential to yield new antimicrobial compounds for combating AMR.
