World Drug Report 2017
The 2017 WDR includes an updated overview of recent trends on production, trafficking and consumption of key illicit drugs as well as highlighting a thematic area of concern. The Report maintains a global overview of the baseline data and estimates on drug demand and supply. This part is descriptive and less analytical to fulfil one of the main functions of the report which is to provide the reference point of information on the drug situation worldwide. Other parts are more analytical and look in depth at few specific topics. Issues highlighted in analysing new trends were selected on the basis of available research findings discussed within RAB and other internal and external stakeholders, including the members of the WDR Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The thematic focus of the 2017 Report are on the links between drugs, terrorism, corruption, transnational organized crime and illicit financial flows, and are spread out through a set of five (5) booklets.
