The UNODC Early Warning Advisory (EWA) serves as a global drug early warning system. It was established in response to the emergence of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) at the global level as a monitoring tool and knowledge hub for policymakers, laboratories and law enforcement on NPS trends, harms (toxicology and pharmacology), national legislative responses and substance analysis.
The UNODC Early Warning Advisory includes public information as well as sections restricted for official (government-related) use. If you would like to request access to the restricted sections please, contact unodc-smart@un.org. You can also find an EWA user guide within the restricted section.
