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
Presenting just a few days after publication of the IPCC Sixth Assessment, Mitigation report, Michael Grubb will summarise research on the economics of innovation and transition and its implications for energy and climate policy. Whilst touching upon themes from the IPCC Mitigation Assessment, the talk will highlight features of such economic thinking in the context of the converging crises of international energy supplies, global COVID-related debt and recovery, and the growing climate crisis. Ultimately, the talk will aim to inform the modern energy policy implications of the old saying: never waste a crisis.
