OxTalks is Changing
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.

Putting nature on a path to recovery: how are we doing?
Dr David Cooper will highlight why urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss is important, describe progress in achieving the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Diversity Framework, and discuss what further steps are needed.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework was agreed by all governments at COP-15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity in December 2022. It sets out an ambitious agenda to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity and put nature on a path to recovery by 2030. Later this year, at COP-17, the international community will take stock of progress towards the 2030 targets and 2050 goals of the KMGBF.
In this talk, Dr David Cooper will highlight why it is important to take urgent action – why biodiversity is important for people’s security and wellbeing. Drawing upon recent reports he will present what we know about progress towards the goals and targets, in the UK and globally, and describe future prospects. He will argue that current efforts must be complemented by actions across all sectors of the economy and society to promote and enable the transformable changes needed to ensure that people and nature can thrive together.
