Global Initiative on Drug Use Prevention “The Declaration of Oviedo”

About this event

Description:
Drug use continues to pose evident challenges to populations worldwide. In just one decade, the use of drugs has grown by 23%. At the same time, science is increasingly proving that a significant portion of drug-use related problems is preventable. The 2023 World Drug Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) identified the need to provide and implement international large-scale drug-use prevention initiatives. On June 9th, 2023, international and national experts met in Oviedo, Spain, in a consultation organized by Association Proyecto Hombre to explore effective strategies for preventing drug use aligned with international scientific standards. During 2023, and stemming from the consultation, more than 200 experts have worked to adopt the Declaration of Oviedo, ten proposals for scaling up evidence-based prevention at the forefront of drug policy. The Declaration of Oviedo and its10 guiding proposals is an unprecedented call from civil society, academia and governments to incorporate science-based prevention in drug policy that counts on the support of 2,650 institutions in 160 countries.
