While the rest of the world is revising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN General Assembly Special Session on Drugs 2016 (UNGASS 2016) that will see every country turn towards the MFLF Manual and the Science of the King, at the end of 2015, the MFLF, together with the Royal Projects Foundation, UNOCD and Germany, will jointly host the 2nd International Workshop and Conference on Alternative Development (ICAD2). This can be traced back to 2008, when Thailand pushed forward a resolution on sustainable alternative development, citing Thailand’s best practices and the theory on Sufficiency Economy so that it became accepted by the UNODC. Later, in 2011, Thailand, together with the UN and Peru, co-hosted the first international conference on alternative development (ICAD1). Representatives from the government sector, development academics, international organisations, over 100 drug crop farmers from 30 countries, jointly drafted the International Guiding Principles on Alternative Development (IGPs), which was approved by the International High Level Conference on Alternative Development held in Lima, Peru, on 14-16 November 2012.
