Youth Statement 2026 at the 69th Session of the CND

From 9 – 11 March 2026, UNODC Youth Forum 2026 was held on the sidelines of the 69th Session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), welcoming 26 youths from 21 countries to Vienna, Austria. For nearly 15 years, this annual event has aimed to create a learning space for active youth leaders to learn about evidence-based prevention, collaborate through interactive sessions, and share their experiences and perspectives. Through various interactive sessions held over three days, youth had the opportunity to learn and discuss about evidence-based prevention, conduct youth-led sessions, and synthesize their learnings and insights into a joint Youth Statement that was delivered at the Plenary of the Commission.
