Presented paper on "Migration, Diasporas and SDGs" UN CDP/UNAM LNOB Expert Group Meeting, Mexico City

Migration and the growth of global diasporas are key contemporary trends which impact on the pledge to “leave no one behind” in the 2030 Agenda. The developmental potential of migration is captured in four Goals and five Targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The focus is particularly on remittances (including South-South remittances) and other financial investments such as diaspora savings and bonds.
