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
Almost 10 years ago, the first global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services was conducted, focusing on pollinators, pollination, and food production, with the goal of improving biodiversity protection through policy actions. Several global biodiversity assessments have since followed, using similar methodological approaches. In my presentation, I will provide insights into the procedures and methods, report on the main results, discuss limitations, with a particular emphasis on our recently published fact check on biodiversity decline in Germany. I will also explore implications of these reports to foster a discussion on how researchers should bring their findings to policy makers and society to advance the social-ecological transformations currently being discussed at regional, national, and global scales. I look forward to hearing opinions and ideas from diverse disciplines.
