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
Information is not Implementation: Early evidence from using machine learning for climate policies when state capacity is low
Climate change adaptation policies are increasingly using machine learning to make use of more information and provide more accurate predictions of extreme weather events. Equally, Payment for Ecosystem Services to monitor and affect land use are increasingly relying on remote sensing data. This talk will draw upon a set of recent (ongoing) field experiments to highlight the importance of designing ML-based climate policies that account for last mile implementation constraints and low citizen trust in the state.
