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
What would the sustainable economy look like? What would it take to live within our environmental means?
These are questions posed by Professor Sir Dieter Helm, in a forthcoming book: Legacy: How to Build the Sustainable Economy. It explores the key features of properly maintaining different types of capital (human-derived and natural), why polluters should pay, and why the current generation should fund the necessary maintenance of our natural assets. This book explains the steps that are needed to make our economies truly sustainable and highlights the feebleness of current approaches to net zero and biodiversity loss and why we are not meeting our duties to future generations.
Professor Helm, will debate the challenges ahead with Dr Dimitri Zenghelis, Senior Visiting Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change, LSE, and Advisor to the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, University of Cambridge, in a discussion chaired by the Oxford Martin School Director, Professor Sir Charles Godfray.
This talk will be followed by a drinks reception, all welcome.
