Ann Singleton of the School for Policy Studies will be speaking at the University of Geneva's symposium: Global Migration / Asylum Governance: Advancing the International Agenda on 10 and 11 October. International migration has found recognition as one of the key concerns to be addressed by the international community. Several recent initiatives pay tribute to this development: the upcoming UN High-Level Plenary Meeting on addressing large movements of refugees and migrants on 19 September 2016 in New York; the Leaders' Summit on Refugees the following day; the inclusion of migration and human mobility in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as in the Decision adopting the 2015 Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21).
