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.
We are in the midst of a renewables revolution. Solar panels, for example, are 1,000 times cheaper than they were 50 years ago, with the International Energy Agency recently declaring that in many locations around the world solar is ‘the cheapest source of electricity in history.’
Launching the report ‘A new perspective on decarbonising the global energy system’, Professor Doyne Farmer and Dr Matthew Ives will draw on over a decade of research to explain why the more we deploy renewables, the faster their prices are likely to drop. As they will outline, this has profound implications for the potential cost and optimal pace of our transition towards net zero.
Professor Farmer and Dr Ives will set out new evidence on the importance of continuing renewables’ current growth rates for the next decade, and discuss the huge environmental, economic, and social benefits this could bring.
