Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In January, a joint investigation by the Guardian, Die Zeit and Source Material found that the forest carbon offsets approved by the world’s leading certifier and used by major corporations for climate claims are largely worthless.
Patrick Greenfield, one of the reporters on the investigation, will detail the story of their investigation and discuss its wider implications for conservation and corporate net-zero claims.
Patrick Greenfield is a reporter for the Guardian and the Observer. He writes about biodiversity loss and the climate crisis.
