OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Measuring the Overlap: Poverty and Climate Hotspots
Climate hazards and multidimensional poverty are overlapping hazards – but how do they interact?
The global MPI 2025 was the first report to overlay data on these two core issues, combining the latest multidimensional poverty results with data on four hazards – high heat, drought, floods, and air pollution – for 1657 subnational regions in 108 developing countries.
The results suggest a strong overlap between multidimensional poverty and climate hazard exposure: nearly 80% of multidimensionally poor people, representing 887 million people, live in regions exposed to climate hazards.
Join us on Thursday 4 December to hear from OPHI and UNDP researchers about the analysis behind this report, and the insights which can be gathered from the results.
