Sustainable migration from poor to rich countries – Towards a new refugee and migration system (2018)
The refugee crisis of 2015, and difficulties agreeing on effective measures, has provided added momentum for debating the current refugee and migration system.
In public discourse across Europe, policy-makers, researchers and others are addressing the challenges and sustainability of today’s migration. There is a growing call for a more holistic and sustainable approach to migration policy, which also addresses analysis of the long-term consequences for individuals, societies and states affected. The aim of the conference is to present and discuss a framework for understanding sustainable migration, which may help guide and inform governments and elected politicians.
