OxTalks is Changing
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
Climate and the Macroeconomy: why monetary policy makers are increasingly focusing on the impact of climate risks
As climate change drives more frequent and more severe weather events and as governments across the world implement policies to transition their economies to net zero, the macroeconomic impacts are increasingly materialising over time horizons relevant for monetary policymakers. James Talbot, Executive Director at the Bank of England and Chair of the Network for Greening the Financial System’s (NGFS) workstream on monetary policy, explains why monetary policymakers must understand the macroeconomic impacts of climate change. Drawing on the latest work in this area, he discusses the channels through which climate shocks affect the economy, the trade-offs they can present for policymakers and why central banks need to better understand these risks.
