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
This brown bag offers an introduction to UN negotiation processes with a particular focus on climate negotiations under the UNFCCC. Marie-Claire Graf, one of the founders of the Youth Negotiators Academy, explains why and how the YNA came to be and its current role influencing the future of UN negotiations. Jervon sheds light on the experience of being a youth negotiator from a small island developing state and discusses the wider challenges that SIDS like the Bahamas must overcome in order to effectively engage in the UNFCCC COP process.
