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
Our Himalayan Forum will explore what climate resilience means and looks like on the ground in Nepal and the greater Himalayan region, focusing on the ways in which young Himalayans actively shape climate innovation in the region. Leading activists with a wealth of grassroots development experience will start by setting the context in Nepal, in particular alternatives to large-scale out-migration. Youth who have decided to remain and build abundant and climate resilient livelihoods in their home villages will share their experiences. The Forum will then provide avenues to discuss the challenges of multi-criteria evaluation faced by researchers and funding bodies who design development projects aimed to tackle climate resilience holistically across all sectors. The discussion aims to unite youth, activism and academia in action on climate change in the Himalaya.
