On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
COP29 is fast approaching and while concerns mount over the host country’s ties to oil and gas, NGOs, scientists and campaigners sound dire warnings that time is running out. These calls to action are backed up by a series of unprecedented weather events – hurricanes, fires and floods – that will pile pressure on world leaders to make COP29 a success.
But what are the odds of a successful outcome and what would it look like? Will the UK, Brazil, and the US announce 2035 climate plans as they are expected to? And how will events unfold on the ground?
Join us for a joint Blavatnik School of Government and Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment panel session with:
Rachel Kyte, UK climate envoy and Professor of Climate Policy, Blavatnik School of Government
Sam Fankhauser, Professor of Climate Economics and Policy, Oxford Smith School
Thomas Hale, Professor in Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government
Alexis McGivern, Net Zero Standards Manager, Oxford Smith School
This live virtual event is a must for media professionals, policymakers, business leaders and others interested to hear from thought leaders and experts in the field. Take this opportunity to put your questions to the panel.
