Today’s shifting global order is increasingly restrictive, and even hostile, toward human mobility. Meanwhile, geopolitical volatility continues to drive more people to seek safety across borders. In response, Carnegie Council’s Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) project held a special multi-part convening at the Council’s Global Ethics Hub in New York.

The latest human mobility statistics demand attention. In 2024, the UN Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs estimated that there were 304 million international migrants worldwide—a number that has most likely grown significantly in this post-pandemic world. If migration wasn’t already a hot topic, its salience today is undeniable. It dominates political discourse, fuels electoral outcomes, and often triggers reactionary policymaking rather than proactive governance.

It is hard to sum up the number of generation-defining events that have taken place this year. We find ourselves facing a new international order on the heels of 64 national elections, wars in multiple regions, lives and society fundamentally altered by AI-related technologies, and the shocking pace and scale of climate change. The time-honored values of democracy, cooperation, pluralism, and humanitarianism are being put to the test.
