OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Free evening talk: 'Water and climate change: Adaptation at the margins'
The impacts of climate change will largely be felt through water. Droughts, floods, storms, and extreme events are becoming more frequent and intense. The entire water cycle is becoming unpredictable, impacting people’s daily lives and livelihoods, especially those of poor and marginalised communities. Science plays a central role in informing decision-makers about the impacts of climate change and supporting adaptation to those changes. Meanwhile, we know some critical barriers to adaptation remain social, political, and financial.
What is the role of climate science in supporting adaptation to climate change for poor, vulnerable, and marginalised communities? Leading researchers and practitioners at the forefront of climate adaptation will reflect on the social and political barriers to producing, sharing, and using climate information, and on how it should be interpreted, accessed, and applied. They will discuss the needs and challenges faced by marginalised communities and how to ensure these communities have a say in adaptation decision-making.
The talk is free but registration is recommended. Tickets are available for online and in-person attendance (doors open from 17:30)
