WHY ? More than half of the global population resides in urban areas, which are foreseen to continue growing to 66% by 2050, mainly due to inflows of internal and international migrants. Cities can benefit from these people’s potential by creating an enabling environment and taking migration into account in their local governance.
WHAT ? MC2CM contributes to improved migration governance at local level in cities in Europe and in the Southern Mediterranean, with a specific focus on integration and inclusion, and migrants’ access to rights and services. VIENNA
