'War on drugs' policies contribute to the destruction of our planet, which is why environmentally sustainable regulation should be part of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
IDPC draws lessons from the challenges of tobacco control, including in relation to corporate capture, to inform the design of equitable, inclusive and sustainable cannabis legal regulation.
In seeking to future-proof sustainable regulatory efforts, join us for the launch of ‘Cannabis regulation: Lessons from the illicit tobacco trade’, an illuminating briefing paper written by Benoit Gomis and produced as a collaboration between the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC), the Global Drug Policy Observatory (GDPO), Health Poverty Action (HPA), Transform, the Transnational Institute (TNI) and the Washington Office on latin America (WOLA).
This webinar explores how to ensure communities affected by prohibition participate in drug policy reform and that legal regulation protects their livelihoods, espouses social justice and promotes equity.
The concept of ‘alternative development’ has dominated the intersection of drug control and development historically – but has been subject to growing critique. We explore how can it evolve into meaningful promotion of sustainable livelihoods for impacted communities, including possibilities for transitioning into legally regulated drug crop products.
This webinar dives into how the structures upholding the so-called ‘war on drugs’ are rooted in racism and imperialism, and how to ensure reform can centre cultural, traditional and indigenous rights.
