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
Rivers, and other water bodies, are the blood vessels of our world. They provide fresh water to support, directly or indirectly, the lives and daily livelihoods of billions of people globally. However, when they run dry, overflow, or become unpredictable, they turn into major threats to society. Climate change is projected to amplify and accelerate these challenges.
The webinar will bring together musicians, visual artists and scientists to discuss the impacts of climate change on water resources in East-Africa, and on the millions of people who depend on them for their livelihoods.
This event is the second of a series organised by UNESCO-IHP, the University of Oxford, and the orchestra of St John’s, engaging audiences by connecting them to water security and climate change issues through science, music and visual arts.
