In September 2015, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. For the first time, international migration was recognized as an integral part of global sustainable development. Eleven out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) contain targets and/or indicators that are directly relevant to migration. For example, target 10.7 calls upon countries to “facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well managed migration policies”, and others refer to migration related topics such as remittances and human trafficking.
