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.

Global Climate Change: A Summary for Policymakers - The benefits, costs and challenges of emissions reductions
This lecture begins from the economic benefits of burning fossil carbon, and the consequent challenges of reducing emissions. We will look at global drivers of emissions in “shared socio-economic pathways”; compare marginal and total costs of different approaches to reducing emissions; and introduce you to cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis and the importance of non-monetary barriers and incentives.
