When it comes to tackling the climate crisis in Oxfordshire, what are the dilemmas and decisions that local policymakers have to make? When it comes to issues related to climate — including energy, food, and transport, who exactly gets to make those decisions, and how? What kind of evidence do they need – and where can they find it? This session is a must for anyone with ideas for how to respond to any of these questions.

Join our team of academics and guests from across the local climate ecosystem to help lay the foundations for more effective collaboration. We’ll kick off with a scene-setting panel session, including researchers, policy-makers, and change-makers from across the University, the City, and the County, followed by a hackathon to map the local landscape of research and policy evidence and expertise, and to pool ideas as to how we might make strengthen collaboration across the system. We’ll then conclude the session by teasing out a range of actionable next steps.”
