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
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.
