As the number of international migrants reaches new highs, people around the world show little appetite for more migration – both into and out of their countries. Forced migration has evolved and grown into a complex and diversified global crisis.
It’s affecting almost 69 million people who face conflict, climate change, famine, lagging economic growth, crime, and bad governance that push them out of their homes. The international community must adapt to this crisis by departing from current solutions that favor short-term humanitarian spending or closing borders.
Forced migration is solvable. But if not managed correctly, the crisis could result in the near-irreversible corruption of global growth, security, and development.

Closing migration routes into Europe won’t stop terrorism.
