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.

Provost Paul Johnson will be joined by Sir Dieter Helm who, as well as being Professor of Economic Policy at Oxford, is the UK’s foremost authority on the economics of energy, climate change, sustainability and natural capital.
Sir Dieter is author of bestselling books on these topics, and has fascinating insights, often at variance with the received wisdom. From 2012 to 2020, he was Independent Chair of the Natural Capital Committee, providing advice to the government on the sustainable use of natural capital. In his latest book, Legacy: How to Build the Sustainable Economy, he addresses the question: what would the sustainable economy look like and what would it take to live within our environmental means?
The conversation will cover climate change policy, energy transition, and the natural environment.
