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
Global Trends in the Water Footprint
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.
