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
How, if at all, can we square sustainability with economic growth?
Do the current measures of ‘green growth’ suffice to abate the problems of environmental degradation and climate change, or do we need more radical ideas of ‘degrowth’ and fundamentally different economic systems?
Join ODID staff, researchers, students and alumni as we debate how our department should position itself.
What stance should we adopt in balancing economic expansion with environmental preservation and resource depletion? To what extent do green growth initiatives reproduce the structural inequalities within and between countries? What metrics should we use to encompass well-being and economic prosperity alongside environmental health?
The challenges of developing better societies as climate change accelerates concern us all. Critical debate and open-hearted discussions are crucial and we welcome input from both within and beyond the
department.
Whether you’re a firm believer in market mechanisms, a secret plant whisperer, or both – please join us and share your thoughts!
