A compelling OpEd by @GomeraM @UNDPRwanda on embracing the GDP of the poor: Nature

Heat as a driver of migration and of risk for migrants - hugely important paper.
Together with the growing number of people projected to fall out of the human climate niche (nature.com/articles/s4189…), this is a matter of concern.

The @WorldBank's #WDR23 framework on migration management is a promising step towards fairer and smarter policies.
Moving forward, how can we ensure the empowerment and meaningful participation of migrants are central to implementation efforts?
