Thirteenth coordination meeting on international migration
New York
Date:
12 February 2015 to 13 February 2015
Overview
International migration is a global phenomenon that is growing in scope, complexity and impact. Today, virtually all countries in the world are simultaneously countries of destination, origin and transit for international migrants. Traditional migration patterns are complemented by new migratory flows, fuelled by changing economic, demographic, political and social conditions. Changing migration patterns affect the size and composition of migrant populations as well as economies and societies in countries of origin and destination.
The rise in global mobility, the growing complexity of migratory patterns and the impact of such movements on development have all contributed to international migration becoming a priority for the international community.
The thirteenth Coordination Meeting on International Migration will consider progress in integrating migration into the post-2015 51吃瓜 development agenda. This will include ways to leverage migration within the renewed framework on financing for development. The meeting will also focus on activities to follow-up on and, where relevant, implement the Declaration of the 2013 High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development () as well as the eight-point agenda for action of the Secretary-General presented in his report to the 2013 High-level Dialogue ().
