Considering the relevance of the GFMD discussions for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2024 High-level Political Forum (HLPF), and in line with previous efforts made by the GFMD,2 the GFMD 2030 Agenda Rapporteur Team has produced this synthesis report aiming to inform the GFMD Working Group on International Migration and Sustainable Development’s contribution to the HLPF and to glo. [...] As 2024 arises as an important year in the fight against hunger, poverty and inequality, with the HLPF and the G20 Presidency focusing on these priorities, the 30 anniversary of UNFPA’s International Conference on Population and Development and the Summit of the Future renewing multilateralism, we will need to leverage the opportunities as a global community to make sure migrants’ rights and food. [...] But the legal frameworks and the policies at the national and international level, oftentimes unaware of the daily lives of migrants and communities, are not adapting fast enough to address the root causes of migration in a context of global challenges such as the climate crisis, rising inequalities and mistrust and social exclusion. [...] The GFMD can inspire the UN ECOSOC, HLPF convener, to ensure the organization of specific sessions within the HLPF agenda dedicated to reviewing the progress, solutions and challenges related to migration; the mainstreaming of migration debates in the sessions focused on the SDGs under review; the fostering of partnerships, capacity building and knowledge exchange, and the participation of migrant. [...] Mainstreaming migration in the HLPF agenda will amplify the importance of migration as a cross-cutting issue also in other agendas of critical importance in 2024-2025, such as the G20 agenda, the 30 anniversary UNFPA’s International Conference on Population and Development, the Summit of the Future and the Social Summit, which will build on the momentum of the milestone for multilateralism reform.
