Migration is happening everywhere, and no country can manage it alone.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration helps countries work together, and the #IMRF2026 is where progress is reviewed and the next steps take shape.
In 2018, countries came together and agreed on a shared framework - Global Compact #ForMigration - to improve how migration is governed.
At the International Migration Review Forum #IMRF2026 next week, governments will review progress on these commitments & shape next steps.
