Welcome to the United Nations
IOM input to the HLPF 2020 – Accelerated Action and Transformative Pathways: Realizing the Decade of Action and Delivery for Sustainable Development
Introduction
Well-managed migration can be both a development strategy and a development outcome. With over 272 million international migrants and over 70.8 million forcibly displaced people across the globe in 2019 – and many more people on the move within countries – how we choose to address migration and displacement will be a decisive factor in our achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During the Decade of Action, several global trends will continue to shape the complex interactions between migration and sustainable development, reinforcing the importance of integrating migration into SDG implementation.
