In 2025, the EU is expected to launch a new Drug Strategy outlining the overarching political framework and priorities for 2026 to 2030. The current EU Drug Strategy (2021-2025) takes a balanced approach focusing on drug supply reduction, drug demand reduction, and harm reduction, but its implementation remains geared towards drug law enforcement. This lack of balance has so far failed to deliver greater security, while exacerbating health and social harms.
As the launch of the next EU Drug Strategy approaches, we call for a more balanced implementation that prioritises health, harm reduction, and human rights.
