NordAN Conference 2024 - From harm to zero?

The NordAN conference in Oslo, held at the Thon Hotel Slottsbakken on November 7-8, 2024, will focus on the overarching theme "From Harm to Zero?" This year's conference aims to explore comprehensive strategies and policies to significantly reduce the harm caused by alcohol and drug use in society. Through a series of plenary sessions, attendees will engage in in-depth discussions on the gradual erosion of alcohol control policies, the latest Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, and effective measures and interventions in drug policy.

The conference theme, "From Harm to Zero?" underscores the goal of reducing alcohol-related risks from their current levels to zero through the implementation of low-risk drinking guidelines. These guidelines aim to educate individuals on how to minimize their alcohol-related risks, advocating for informed choices and healthier behaviors. Additionally, the conference will emphasize the importance of networking, providing a platform for policymakers, researchers, and advocates to connect and collaborate. A special session will address Norway's current issues in alcohol and drug policy, reflecting the unique challenges and developments in the region. By fostering collaborative efforts and innovative solutions, the NordAN conference aims to drive meaningful progress in public health and policy across the Nordic and Baltic regions.
