The seminar, “Live Positively, Think Positively”, drew private firms’ management staff specialising in human resources and corporate social responsibility. Speakers shared insights into the global refugee situation and a panel discussion addressed the UN agency’s work and the importance of individual and corporate support for refugees. UNHCR launched the “Nobody Left Outside” campaign in 2016 to provide more shelter for refugees and set a goal for the private sector to provide shelter for two million refugees. “Yet around the world, millions are struggling to get by, living in inadequate and often dangerous dwellings and thus putting their lives at risk. The sector has an important role to play with its know-how, energy and resources to show solidarity, through action, with refugees.”
