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.

Abstract: The Convention of Biological Diversity Conference of the Parties will soon negotiate the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, perhaps our last best chance for a sustainable future in which people and the planet can thrive. After briefly outlining how much trouble we’re in, I will argue that there is no single target that can safeguard biodiversity, that only indicators that can be modelled will help us find sustainable pathways, and that the main role of monitoring biodiversity is to improve models.
