Welcome to GLOWACON, the Global Consortium for Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance for Public Health. We bring together diverse partners from across sectors and countries to share knowledge, expertise, and resources, with the goal of creating a safer and healthier world for all.

Our mission is to promote the institutionalization of wastewater and environmental surveillance within public health systems, and to develop a global sentinel system for epidemic outbreaks. This system will enable early threat detection, prevention, and real-time monitoring, supporting public health decision-making and pandemic preparedness.

By building on existing local, national, and regional efforts, and governed by a mechanism agreed upon by participating stakeholders, our sentinel system will create a voluntary network of data sharing that transcends borders and time zones. Together, we can detect and respond to health threats more quickly and effectively, saving lives and protecting communities.
