Global Migration Reaches Record Levels
Over 280 million people live outside their country of birth, the highest number ever recorded. Climate change, conflict, and economic disparity drive migration. Europe and North America face political tensions over border policy. Climate migration is projected to displace 200 million people by 2050. Countries that integrate migrants effectively report economic benefits; those that fail face social strain. The global refugee system, designed for a different era, is struggling to respond to modern displacement patterns.
