At the end of 2020, there were an estimated 281 million people around the world who had migrated from one country to live in another. Many millions more moved within their countries of origin, migrating from villages and towns to rapidly-growing cities. Migration has continued to be a policy priority for Europe. The EU has had to respond to several crises, whether in the case of people fleeing Afghanistan, crossing the Mediterranean Sea or camping out in the cold at the EU's external borders. At the same time, it has also sought to create more pathways for legal migration because, in the words of Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson, 'Europe needs talent ... So Europe can have the skills we need to face the future. And to help us manage migration to Europe, in an orderly way.'1 In this context, the latest iteration of the Atlas of Migration could not be more important. The Atlas collates international data which are harmonised and validated for 27 EU Member States and 171 countries and territories around the world. These data are presented in individual country profiles, and overviews for continents and sub-continental regions. The 2021 edition also includes a thematic section which provides new insights on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migration in Europe and around the world. Each year, the Atlas of Migration provides a shining example of the innovation, rigour and collaboration which characterises the Joint Research Centre's support to evidence-based policymaking in the European Commission. My personal thanks go not only to the team members who have produced this tool, but also to the broader network of colleagues across the Commission and the EEAS who have fed into its development and dissemination. Finally, let us also remember that there is much more to migration than the numbers. Many migrants, with their own experiences, aspirations, hopes and fears, have played a key part in our societies' response to and recovery from the pandemic. Two children of Turkish immigrants to Germany, Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci, founded the company which produced the first vaccine approved for use against the virus. And thousands of migrants in key worker roles have kept our societies functioning. Migration has shaped societies around the world, and continues to do so.

After a significant drop in the number of international migrants in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, international migration bounced back in 2021 and available data suggests that it continued to grow in 2022. The number of refugees in the world has grown by more than 6 million in the last two years. According to UNHCR, there were 26.4 million refugees at the end of 2020, 27.1 million at the end of 2021 and 32.5 million as of mid-2022.1 In the European Union (EU), the number of refugees more than doubled between 2020 and 2022, passing from 2.7 million to 6.7 million. This figure includes the approximately 3.7 million people displaced from Ukraine. As of mid-2022, the EU Member States hosted 21% of the world's refugees (against 10% in 2020). After a drop in the number of residence permits issued in the EU from 2019 to 2020, the number increased in 2021 despite the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Almost 3 million residence permits were issued by the EU Member States to non-EU citizens in 2021.2 Of these, 30% were issued to Ukrainian citizens. In 2021, the number of residence permits issued for work-related reasons hit a record high (1.3 million). In 2021, 45 % of all first residence permits were issued for work reasons. The Atlas of Migration illustrates these and other harmonised and validated data on migration by country, continent and sub-continental region. By making global migration data easy to understand, the Atlas of Migration guides policymakers, researchers and the general public through the complexities of international migration. The 2022 edition includes a thematic section that provides new insights on the displacement from Ukraine following Russia's aggression. It quantifies the level of displacement, and explores the distribution of people fleeing the war in Ukraine across the EU Member States, together with their age, gender, nationality and trends over time.

Delve into the geopolitical implications of seeking refuge and asylum, with a comprehensive analysis of the Palestinian diaspora and an exploration of Pakistan, India, Turkey, and the communitarian-based strategy in refugee laws.

With its diverse range of topics and expert contributors, the "Global Atlas of Refugees and Asylum Seekers" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the complexities of global migration and the policies that shape the lives of those seeking refuge. "The authors of this book identify two main paradigms shaping states’ narratives regarding asylum seekers and refugees. Along the horizontal axis, discourses range from national security to humanitarian aid. On the vertical axis, they extend from the pursuit of ideals, as traditionally defined for refugees and asylum seekers, to personal survival due to economic, climate-related crises, family violence, gender violence, or organized crime. This shift, as highlighted in the chapter on Germany by Professor Knerr, is altering the original vision of agreements that stemmed from post-World War II Europe."
