The anniversary report marking ten editions of the Brandenburg Forum on Drugs and Development Policies is now available. Since its inaugural edition in July 2016, the BBF has brought together 501 participants from 43 UN Member States across ten Forums, generating 268 recommendations to advance human-centred, development-oriented drug policies.

The report traces the Forum’s evolution and impact over the past decade, from strengthening the convergence of human rights and drug policy to contributing to key discussions and resolutions at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs. It highlights the BBF’s role as a space for dialogue, coalition-building and strategic exchange at a time when coordinated, people-centred approaches to global drug policy remain as important as ever.
