This report is based on the deliberations of experts in epidemiology, microbial ecology and evolution, infectious diseases and climate science who participated in a colloquium on Oct. 9-10, 2025, organized by the American Academy of Microbiology, the honorific leadership group and think tank within 海角直播, and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). These experts came from diverse disciplines and sectors to articulate opportunities to build on climate, microbial and attribution science to promote proactive public health preparedness and response. The participants highlighted the need for long-term attribution studies, proactive workforce training, development of novel diagnostics and treatments, and improved surveillance systems so that health systems are capable of rapidly responding to a changing infectious disease landscape.
