AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The report broadens the scope from irregular migration to include mobility, forced displacement and development, with new data and recitals on climate, water, food insecurity and internal displacement. Operational paragraphs shift from migration conditionality and border management to cooperation, local ownership, private sector involvement, human rights and support for partner countries' development priorities. Adds calls for increased ODA, accountability, and support for rule of law, democracy and public services, and expands the list of recognised humanitarian actors. The other change is formal: the final forwarding instruction is updated.
