OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

International negotiations emphasise the importance of private capital in supporting the protection and restoration of biodiversity and natural ecosystems. However, there is limited understanding of the conditions under which private capital can effectively address these critical issues. In other transitions, derisking has proven to be a valuable policy tool for enabling investment in socially desirable initiatives. This paper will analyse biodiversity finance deals and propose a framework to assess whether derisking could be a viable strategy to mobilise finance for biodiversity.
