Substance abuse policy action plan 2026-2028 adopted

Longyearbyen lokalstyre (the local council) has adopted the substance abuse policy action plan for 2026-2028.

The plan is to help prevent substance-related challenges, strengthen public health and facilitate a safe and inclusive local community for all age groups. Work now begins on making the measures in the administrative part of the plan concrete. Residents, professionals and other partners will be invited to a workshop later this year to contribute input to the further work.

The aim is to finalise the action plan by the end of the year, so that the work can be followed up through concrete and targeted measures. Information about the workshop and opportunities for participation will be published when this is ready.
