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
This panel will critically discuss how businesses and companies might collaboratively engage with India’s climate change ambition. As a fast transitioning economy with a large domestic market and an important role in global supply chains, India is grappling with the effects of climate change and the interlinked everyday impacts of unchecked industrial pollution, growing landfills, toxic waste, among other environmental problems. Achieving climate targets require a new level of leadership and accountability especially from businesses – from setting science-based emission reduction targets to ensuring that environmental sustainability is embedded in the entire value chain. Is the majority of Indian business at the cutting edge of leadership on climate action? Why or why not? How might the bulk of Indian businesses embrace such action, in light of both the risks and opportunities posed to them by climate change?
Special remarks by High Commissioner of India to the UK Her Excellency Gaitri Issar Kumar
Moderated by Prof Radhika Khosla, Research Director of the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development
