IOM CONVENES GLOBAL DIALOGUE ON SAFE MIGRATION PATHWAYS FOR A GREENER FUTURE

GENEVA, Switzerland, 27 November 2024 -/African Media Agency(AMA)/- In a world
facing unprecedented levels of forced migration, climate-induced displacement,
and deepening economic disparities, the need for safe, regular migration
pathways has never been more urgent. The International Organization for
Migration (IOM) will convene the second session of this year’s International
Dialogue on Migration (IDM) to explore how a balanced approach to regular
migration pathways can be harnessed to drive sustainable development and support
green transitions worldwide. 

“Conflicts, climate impacts, and labour shortages are reshaping global mobility
patterns leaving millions with limited, often risky, migration options,” said
Amy Pope, IOM Director General. “At a time when the world needs balanced,
coordinated, innovative solutions, this dialogue highlights how well-managed
migration can serve as a force for good – fostering resilience, prosperity, and
cohesion.” 

Under the theme Finding Balance in Regular Migration Pathways Solutions: Driving
Sustainable Development and Green Transitions, the session will build upon the
foundation laid during the first session in New York earlier this year. The New
York dialogue identified four key pillars critical to advancing regular
pathways: building strong multilateral partnerships, engaging communities and
local authorities, amplifying migrant and diaspora voices, and leveraging
innovation and technology to provide migrants with information and resources. 

IOM emphasizes the importance of regular migration pathways, which provide legal
and policy frameworks to facilitate safe, orderly migration across the entire
migration cycle, from pre-departure to reintegration. These pathways are
critical for addressing global challenges and optimizing migration’s positive
impacts, while also bolstering public confidence in migration, which can be
eroded by irregular migration surges as well as disinformation ensuring.
Ensuring a balanced approach that counters human trafficking and migrant
smuggling in the protection of migrants and the preservation of robust migration
systems is critical to safeguarding the benefits migration brings. 

As climate change reshapes human mobility, the need for safe pathways for those
displaced by its effects becomes increasingly pressing. Additionally, green
transitions are opening new economic sectors that require a skilled workforce,
further underscoring the value of regular migration pathways in meeting labour
market demands worldwide. 

With aging populations and growing labour demands in high-income countries
alongside youth-dominated populations in low-income regions, regular pathways
are essential. Safe, organized migration channels not only address labour market
needs but also provide those displaced by climate impacts with secure movement
options. As green transitions drive demand in emerging economic sectors, regular
pathways ensure access to a skilled workforce essential for the green economy. 

Currently available options remain fragmented, often limited to specific
geographic areas or select population groups, leaving gaps that must be
addressed. Regular pathways not only address workforce gaps and demographic
shifts but also counter the negative outcomes associated with irregular
migration, such as exploitation, discrimination, and human suffering. 

The upcoming session will bring together global leaders, policymakers, private
sector stakeholders, and migrant advocates to deepen this dialogue and address
how regular migration pathways can catalyse sustainable development and
contribute to global green transitions. 

This dialogue comes at a crucial time, following major global events such as the
Global Compact for Migration Regional Reviews, the Summit of the Future, and on
the back of the UNFCCC COP 29. As part of these global agendas, IOM’s IDM
session provides a critical opportunity to evaluate migration’s potential as a
positive, sustainable force within this wider context. 

IOM remains committed to advancing pathways that harness the full potential of
migration, helping to transform migration into a powerful driver of sustainable
development and green progress for all.
