In addition, the climate crisis poses news threats and disrupts and threatens livelihoods. It adds to (and interacts with) the many other economic and political factors that trigger international migration. Many refugees struggle to build a new life in their host country, find jobs, start their own business, or even access essential services. But wouldn’t there be potential mutual benefits for businesses and their surrounding communities in welcoming, supporting and truly including refugees?The presentation will be led by:François GEMENNEProfessor in Economics and Decision Sciences Department, HEC Paris and Lead author, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)Marieke HUYSENTRUYT Professor in Strategy and Business Policy Department, HEC Paris and Academic Director of S&O Inclusive Economy Center and S&O Impact Company LabWith the participation of Romain Briat, Executive Director of S&O Purpose CenterIt will be followed by a discussion about practical experiences helping refugees integrate into the labor market.EVENT SUMMARYDate: Tuesday  23rd January 2024 Time: 6:30 to 9:30pmAddress: HEC UK House 43 Parker Street, London WC2B 5PS Map here Format: Masterclass & networking cocktail Tickets: Infinity Pass and fee-paying members £15 / Alumni £20 / External £25 If you need help to register for the event or any information, please contact Marie Normant, our Alumni Relations Manager.
