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
At the end of 2023 new legislation will be enacted making it mandatory for nearly every new development in England to leave nature in a better state than before (so it achieves a mandatory “Biodiversity Net Gain” (BNG)). But will it work? The devil is in the detail. In this panel session, join a range of Oxford’s leading BNG experts for an introduction into this important new piece of legislation affecting England’s natural environment, the role it has the potential to play in helping England achieve its overarching biodiversity goals, and the things to look out for that will affect its effectiveness going forwards.
The panel will include:
Sophus zu Ermgassen, Ecological Economist, University of Oxford
Prue Addison, Conservation Strategy Director, Berks, Bucks, & Oxon Wildlife Trust
Natalie Duffus, researcher, University of Oxford
Joseph Bull, Associate Professor in Climate Change Biology, University of Oxford
This event is both in person and online
