On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The new release of the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index takes place this Friday 17th October on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
The new 2025 global MPI report Overlapping Hardships: Poverty and Climate Hazards is produced in partnership with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Programme Human Development Report Office (UNDP HDRO). This report overlays data on climate hazards and multidimensional poverty for the first time to assess how exposed poor people are to climate challenges.
The speakers will reflect on the findings of the report and what this means for human-centred climate action in the lead up to COP30 in Belém, Brazil.
