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 world is getting hotter, meaning cities will get progressively hotter posing a health threat to those who live there. So how do we keep cool, while also saving the planet?
In this session, Associate Professor Radhika Khosla, Programme Leader in Zero Carbon Energy Use at Oxford’s ZERO Institute and Principal Investigator, Future of Cooling and Angélica Ospina, CEO of Consejo Colombiano de Construcción Sostenible (CCCS or Colombia Green Building Council) will discuss the challenges and solutions related to urban heat, why cities become vulnerable to extreme heat, and cooling demands in cities amidst global warming. They will also discuss the need to rethink architecture with sustainability, heat resilience and emissions impact reduction in mind.
