Recent fund-cuts have generated a global crisis within harm reduction organisations - it is urgent to find alternatives for sustainable funding.

🔴 Watch our webinar "Keeping Harm Reduction Alive: Strategies amidst a global funding collapse".

With Catherine Cook, HRI’s Acting Executive Director, contributing to the discussion, the event made clear that governments must accelerate evidence-based, life-saving responses for people who use drugs and for people in prison settings.

We must end the war on drugs and its war against nature. #InvestInJustice

To stop this cycle we need to divest from the environmentally destructive war on drugs and invest in environmental sustainability and support local ecological diversity while protecting traditional practices.

Meanwhile, the organic cultivation of illicit crops alongside subsistence crops remains both more profitable and environmentally sustainable - this is the real alternative development.

Farmers are incentivised to over-produce more resource-intensive crops in the name of development and survival.

Alternative Development efforts that focus only on eliminating illicit crop cultivation, though 
well-intentioned, can cause harm.
