Book excerpt: In December 2020 the European Union adopted its Drugs Strategy for 2021-2025. With this strategy, the EU and its 27 Member States have reaffirmed their commitment to an evidence-based and comprehensive approach, addressing the various aspects of the drugs situation in a balanced manner: 1. enhancing security and reducing drug supply; 2. increasing prevention, treatment and care services and reducing drug demand; 3. addressing drug-related harm. With the preservation of human rights at its core, the EU Drugs Strategy incorporates gender equality and health equity perspectives. It fully embraces the importance of international cooperation and multilateralism. The EU Drugs Strategy incorporates the lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis in the area of drugs and takes a future-oriented approach, promoting research, innovation and foresight to respond more effectively to - and anticipate - challenges.
