OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Global Climate Change - A Summary for Policymakers: Policy options from carbon pricing to geo-engineering: does Climate Change Everything?
We’ll begin from the current climate policy landscape and the status of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change following the Paris Agreement. We will discuss carbon pricing, cap-and-trade, cap-and-dividend and regulatory approaches to reducing emissions, and the ethical and practical challenges of relying on adaptation or remedial measures like albedo geo-engineering. Your lecturer has strongly-held and not-particularly-mainstream views on climate policy, so unlike lectures 1-6, this will not pretend to provide a balanced overview: you are invited to bring your own views along to provide balance.
