CND Chair's Special Event to commemorate the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking and to launch the 2025 UNODC World Drug Report

The 2025 World Drug Report presents the latest global, regional, and subregional data and trends in drug demand and supply, with an emphasis on usability and accessibility through an interactive online format. The World Drug Report 2025 will provide a wealth of data and analysis on the latest trends in drug demand and supply and cross-cutting issues together with three thematic chapters on: the impact of drug use with a focus on health; the links between drug trafficking and organized crime; and the impact of drugs on the environment in Europe. The report will be structured around four modules: (i) the three thematic chapters will be presented in the Thematic Contemporary Issues booklet; (ii) the web-based Drug Market Patterns and Trends module will contain the latest analysis of global, regional and subregional estimates of and trends in drug demand and health consequences, supply, and drug-related criminal justice system offering graphs, infographics, maps, and key summary messages in an interactive and searchable way; (iii) the booklet on Key Findings will summarize the analysis presented in the Drug market patterns and trends module and the three thematic chapters; while (iv) the Special Points of Interest booklet offers a framework for the main takeaways and policy implications that can be drawn from those findings.

On 26 June 2025, at 2 p.m. Vienna time in Board-Room D (VIC), the Chair of the 68th session of the CND will hold an event to mark the World Drug Day and to launch the 2025 World Drug Report.
