The 2026 UNODC World Drug Report highlights an increasingly complex global drug landscape, characterised by expanding synthetic drug markets, poly-drug use, and evolving public health and public safety challenges. In this ISSUP webinar, Giovanna Campello (UNODC) explored the report’s key findings and discussed what they mean for professionals working across prevention, treatment, recovery, policy, law enforcement, and criminal justice. This post summarises the key discussion points and practical implications for the global workforce. It also highlights the new interactive World Drug Report data platform as a valuable resource for evidence-informed policy and practice, with links to both the webinar recording and the full report.
