Climate change and refugees: what is the role of business?
We are delighted to invite you to a masterclass at HEC UK House:
Climate change & refugees: what is the role of business?
Tuesday 23rd January 2024 at 6:30pm
HEC UK House 43 Parker Street WC2B 5PS
Please join us for an inspiring event, featuring two HEC professors who will combine their expertise in both climate change and refugee integration.
Forced migration is a persistent and complex reality. 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 GEMENNE |
 | 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 Lab |
With the participation of Romain Briat, Executive Director of S&O Purpose Center
It will be followed by a discussion about practical experiences helping refugees integrate into the labor market.
