SESSION SPOTLIGHTMaking global migration work - who will join forces with the Global Compact on Migration?In July 2018, when the United Nationals agreed on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration – it was the first time governments around the world agreed to work together to manage migration. António Guterres Secretary General of the United Nations said: “We must aim for a world in which we can celebrate migration’s contributions to prosperity, development and international unity. It is in our collective power to achieve this goal. This year’s global compact can be a milestone on the road to making migration truly work for all.” Tune in to hear more about The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration Migration experts from Canada, Switzerland, Australia and the Philippines will lead a discussion about conflicting agendas in the governance of migration, and the role of the Global Compact to reset the way governments deal with migration. Share in the discussions about the Global Compact – what it means and how it will work.
