International Dialogue on Migration No. 35: Leveraging Human Mobility in Support of the Sustainable Development Goals

The first session of International Dialogue on Migration (IDM) 2023 took place on 30 and 31 March 2023, with the theme, Leveraging Human Mobility in Support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The session took place at a crucial time in light of the imminent SDG Summit in September, which marked the midway point in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and provided an opportunity to assess progress towards the SDGs. 

The first IDM 2023 session encouraged dialogue among IOM Member States, stakeholders and partners to take stock of the complex and intertwined ways in which human mobility is impacted by and, in turn, impacts the major transformations and challenges of our time.

This publication reports on the proceedings of the two-day session and compiles relevant data, evidence, best practices, innovative approaches and concrete solutions in relation to mainstreaming human mobility to accelerate the achievement of SDGs.
