OxTalks is Changing
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
Nature as an Asset or Nature as a Subject of Rights: Which way for addressing the global biodiversity crisis?
This is a hybrid event. To attend online, please register via the link below.
In 2021 and 2022, two high-level academic reports concerning the way humanity should deal with the fate of biodiversity were published: ‘The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review’ and the IPBES ‘Assessment on Diverse Values and Valuation of Nature’. The former conceptualises nature as an asset, while the latter acknowledges a wide diversity of ways of conceiving of and valuing nature. As an expression of such diversity, for an increasing number of people across the globe, ecosystems should hold legal personhood as a way of gaining protection. Should we address the global biodiversity crisis as a portfolio management or as a rights recognition problem? This talk will consider the clash between these two views.
