Abstract
Abstract This chapter addresses Objective 2 of the GCM, which aims to minimize the adverse drivers compelling people to leave their countries of origin. The chapter first problematizes the Objective’s broad and undefined terminology, arguing that the ambiguous concept of ‘adverse drivers’ reflects a political compromise that masks fundamental contradictions in migration politics. It then explores the Objective’s five key aims, from fostering development and reducing inequality to acknowledging the climate–migration nexus. While the Objective’s commitment to eradicating poverty and improving living standards is laudable, the risk remains that its focus on minimizing certain drivers of migration will not dissociate the implementation of this Objective from Global North aims of control and containment. The conceptual vagueness around adverse drivers of migration ultimately undermines the Objective’s potential to effectively address the complex, multi-causal realities of migration, which range from persecution and conflict to economic necessity and climate change.
