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.
For decades the world’s governments have struggled to move from talk to action on climate. The most widely promoted strategy to address the climate crisis – the use of market-based programmes to reduce climate pollution – hasn’t been working and isn’t ready to scale.
In a bold new book, Making Climate Policy Work, climate policy experts Danny Cullenward and David Victor show how the politics of creating and maintaining market-based policies render them ineffective nearly everywhere they have been applied. Reforms can help around the margins, but markets’ problems are structural and won’t disappear with increasing demand for climate solutions. Facing that reality requires relying more heavily on smart regulation and industrial policy – government-led strategies – to catalyse the transformation that markets promise, but rarely deliver.
This online book launch interrogates the track record of market-based climate policies to date and examines their role moving forward.
This event is co-hosted with the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, and the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School.
