OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

A just energy transition is crucial in building the public backing needed to achieve climate goals. If citizens see that regulations cutting carbon emissions can reduce rather than increase inequalities they are more likely to support them. The EU’s two key regulatory policies for appliance energy efficiency—minimum energy performance standards and mandatory energy labels have achieved major energy and costs savings. This seminar will consider whether they cut carbon emissions in a way that also reduces inequality, looking at:
· Whether decision-making processes enable broad participation (procedural justice)
· Whether the allocation of costs and benefits reduces inequalities (distributional justice).
and offering recommendations for improvement.
