Cities are at the forefront when it comes to the development and implementation of innovative health, social and drug policy responses.. They are “the places where both problems emerge and solutions are found” and are hotspots for identifying new drug patterns, social disparities, and healthcare needs, profoundly impacting the lives of urban residents. Moreover, cities often serve as pioneers, offering models for other urban areas globally.
This Panel Discussion will bring together mayors, local policy and decision-makers, and drug policy experts to explore local drug policy challenges, share experiences and best practices, and discuss how cities can craft innovative, evidence-based drug policies, including models for decriminalisation and regulation.
Organised as part of the European City Initiative on Drug Policy—launched by C-EHRN in 2024—this session will also introduce the EHRC2024 Satellite Event, Dealing with Drugs II - cities as incubators in the international quest for regulation, hosted by the City of Amsterdam on Wednesday afternoon, directly following the conference.
