Migrants help cities to thrive and become more vibrant, successful centres of economy and life.

Deforestation, land degradation, desertification and biodiversity loss can have profound impacts on communities whose livelihoods rely on natural resources and can be drivers of migration.

Water scarcity and related issues may impact on living standards, food availability and health which in turn can be drivers of migration.

Effective migration governance is vital for safer, more orderly and regular migration, which is a crucial factor to achieve sustainable development.
