Global State of Harm Reduction 2024

The Global State of Harm Reduction is the only report that provides an independent analysis of harm reduction in the world. Now in its ninth edition, the Global State of Harm Reduction 2024 is the most comprehensive global mapping of harm reduction responses to drug use, HIV and viral hepatitis.

The Global State of Harm Reduction has always been produced through a collaborative effort between community and civil society representatives and researchers. The report includes nine regional chapters authored by experts from each region. This year’s report differs slightly from previous editions as it emphasises key regional issues and populations that continue to be
neglected by harm reduction services.

Each regional chapter presents data on the availability of harm reduction services and addresses two key issues that require special attention. The report also includes three new thematic chapters focused on harm reduction for Indigenous people, people in prison and youth. The report continues to include data to map the implementation of viral hepatitis services for people who use drugs.
