 Migration impacts us all. You may have a friend or neighbor who has migrated. Or perhaps you are a migrant yourself. People migrate to seek work and educational opportunities. What others do so to escape conflict and disasters, extreme poverty, and the adverse effects of climate change. Despite the impact of COVID-19 mobility restrictions, migration will continue to shape our world, providing benefits for our local, regional and global communities. Since its establishment, IOM has evolved into the leading international organization dedicated to promoting safe, orderly and regular migration, assisting those most vulnerable and harnessing the potential of human mobility. IOM's work covers fields such as return and reintegration, labor migration, climate change, migration health, border management, data and research, crisis response and migration policy. The organization supports its member states to respond to the needs of migrants and improve migration governance amid conflict, political upheaval, natural disasters and economic crises. In 2016, IOM joined the United Nations as a related agency providing migrants with a much needed voice on the global stage. IOM is there to guarantee the safety, well-being and dignity of people on the move, advocating for their human rights to be respected at all times. As nations develop new strategies to manage migration, IOM's dedicated staff are providing pragmatic policy recommendations and operational support for emergency and non-emergency situations in more than 100 countries. As IOM marks seven decades of service, a particular focus of its work is to mitigate the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 and harness the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of migrants to reimagine human mobility. Looking into the future, IOM is committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to achieving the objectives set by the Global Compact for Migration to reduce inequalities and ensure that no one is left behind.
