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
In this seminar, Chris Nelder, host and creator of the Energy Transition Show podcast, shares some observations from his eight years and over 200 episodes of interviewing energy and climate researchers and experts from all over the world. He will highlight some of the key considerations that are necessary to make the energy transition successful, but which may not come naturally to researchers and communicators, including: how to influence and persuade policymakers; the war of narratives about our climate future; the challenges of the “mid-transition”; corruption and regulatory capture; “unglamorous solutions”; why we much deliberately center distributed energy and “just transition” objectives; and the challenges of the political context.
