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
The struggle against climate change is, metaphorically and meteorologically, heating up. Globally, 2023 was the warmest year on record, with temperature rises exceeding the 1.5C limit deemed necessary to avoid the most extreme consequences of atmospheric heating. Both Labour and the Conservatives have rolled-back high-profile green commitments in recent months. Is this smart politics? Are voters really all that enthusiastic about the country’s promise to hit Net Zero emissions by 2050, or are they more concerned with relief from the current cost-of-living crisis? Just what do voters think about climate change and climate policies? These questions will be addressed along with others regarding the role climate politics may play the next general election and beyond. Hear from one of Britain’s leading analysts of public opinion on the environment about just how far voters are willing to go in paying for the climate transition.
