Migration is one of the most significant challenges facing our world today. People have always moved to find work, improve their lives, or escape conflict. While most stay in their own country, some migrate to other lands. Migrants can bring host countries a range of benefits, such as filling job vacancies, making cultures more diverse, and contributing to economic growth. However, there are also undeniable challenges, and resources can feel very stretched.

To build a better, fairer, more equal, cleaner world, we must address these challenges. This series seeks to answer this question by exploring some of the greatest challenges facing our planet today, including disease, conflict, the energy crisis, and the plight of refugees. It explains what is already being done to meet and tackle these challenges and explores what more could and should be done, both individually and collectively, to ensure a better future for our planet, its people, and its wildlife.
