SOFA 2018 looks at how internal and international migratory flows link to economic development, demographic change, and natural-resource pressure and recommends tailored policy and investment responses to make migration work for all.”

“People in fragile states who are caught in conflict or displaced often fall through the cracks or are explicitly excluded from national plans.

“An extensive report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)–based on three years of research and reviewed by 1,000 scientists–indicates that the 2.7°F (1.5°C) threshold for global temperature increases may be reached as early as 2030, causing catastrophic climate risks. IPCC calls for global cooperation in drastically reducing the net emissions of carbon dioxide.”
