Development Dimensions of Drug Policy: New Challenges, Opportunities, and Emerging Issues – Launch of the UNDP Discussion Paper

The session will launch the 2025 UNDP discussion paper “Development Dimensions of Drug Policy: Assessing New Challenges, Uncovering Opportunities, and Addressing Emerging Issues” as a resource for evidence-based policymaking and intersectoral dialogue to hear the voices of people and communities impacted by the ‘war on drugs’ and their calls for a more holistic examination of how drug policy affects development, justice, health, and inclusion.
