OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.

Freshwater is a finite and vulnerable resource, crucial for sustaining life, fostering development, and preserving the environment. However, we are using too much of it in many places around the world. What are we using all this water for? How sustainable is humanity’s collective water use? Given the interconnectedness of the global economy, who supplies the world with (virtual) water and who benefits? Informed by a state-of-the-art modelling study he conducted with the World Bank, Rick will share the latest insights on the water footprint of humanity, its consequences, and how we can move to a more sustainable water future.
