On March 12th, 2025, during the 68th Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the Global Youth Declaration on Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery was launched. The Youth Declaration was presented by the Global Youth Core Group, consisting of 15 members from 13 countries, during the CND Side Event from Drug Free America Foundation. The Youth Declaration represents 1145 youth from 63 countries, which have shared their perspectives, challenges, and suggestions through the Global Youth Survey on Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery – which was disseminated globally between September 2024 and January 2025. While the Data Report provides valuable insights in current challenges among youth, varying risk perceptions, and correlations between youth, community, and government involvement in the effectiveness of programmes, the Youth Declaration provides recommendations to Governments, Institutions and Organisations, and other key stakeholders (from WFAD website)
