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
With the impacts of climate change becoming ever more evident and challenging – can we “transition away from fossil fuels”, and create a new energy system which meets the many and divergent needs of the global population?
Although progress towards a new, lower carbon energy system is significant – the current pace is not enough to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Accord in an orderly fashion. The pace will not accelerate sufficiently without intervention and international cooperation. We should spend less time on debating the right path to Net Zero and devote our efforts to actions which immediately reduce the carbon intensity of energy consumed and which ultimately halt the net increase in man-made atmospheric CO2 in the required timeframe. These efforts will require collaboration across the world and throughout the system of energy production and consumption.
