#ONEsuperyear for nature | Webinar

Jim Hall, Harriet Waters, Nathan Lawson & Shobhan Dhir

Monday 12 Oct 2020 | Online
You can watch the ONE #Superyear for Nature presentation on Microsfot TEAMS. It was recorded on 12 October 2020.   The Oxford Networks for the Environment (ONE) facilitate connections between all Oxford researchers working on environmental research in biodiversity, climate, energy, food and water. The networks exchange knowledge and expertise, enabling Oxford University to be ‘greater than the sum of its parts’, [...]

9th Oxford Energy Day: Sustainable Local Energy Systems

Conference | Tuesday 29 Sep 2020 | Online
The 9th Oxford Energy Day will consider the topic of ‘Sustainable Local Energy Systems’ The local dimensions of energy systems are becoming more important for researchers, industry and policymakers. Generation technologies are increasingly modular and decentralised, and saving energy has always only been deliverable locally. As the share of variable renewable electricity generation rises, the opportunities for distributed storage and demand [...]

Project LEO (Local Energy Oxfordshire) – How are Local Networks Enabling the Energy Transition?

Melanie Bryce

Seminar | Week 8 | Tuesday 16 Jun 2020 | Online | Slides available
Project LEO (Local Energy Oxfordshire) is helping Oxfordshire to accelerate towards net zero. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) is proud to be the lead partner on LEO and to be supporting Oxfordshire, the first county to declare a climate emergency, to deliver its net zero ambitions. The project is trialling the matching of renewable generation and demand at a [...]

What can we learn about energy use from activity patterns during a lockdown?

Dr Philipp Grünewald

Seminar | Week 1 | Tuesday 09 Jun 2020 | Online | Slides available
Rapid and radical societal change is possible – the response to COVID-19 has proven that. Can lessons be learned for responses tothe climate emergency? Energy is only an intermediate good that becomes useful by turning it into an energy service. When usage patterns change, due to severe weather events, changes in price, uptake of new technologies or practices, or indeed during [...]

Civil and Geotechnical Engineering Design for Offshore Wind Turbines – Online only

Tuesday 26 May 2020 | Online
Offshore wind energy is a major component of the UK’s energy mix, with nearly 2500 offshore turbines either operational or being constructed, and many more planned for the next few decades. Similarly ambitious plans exist acrossEurope and elsewhere in the world. Advanced engineering design plays a crucial role in reducing capital and operational costs, and is necessary for the wind [...]

The limits of energy sufficiency: A review of the evidence for rebound effects and negative spillovers from behavioural change

Seminar | Week 1 | Tuesday 28 Apr 2020 | Online | Slides available
‘Energy sufficiency’ involves reducing consumption of energy services in order to minimise the associated environmental impacts. This may either be through individual actions, such as reducing car travel, or through reducing working time, income and aggregate consumption (‘downshifting’). However, the environmental benefits of both strategies may be less than anticipated. First, people may save money that they can spend on [...]

Invitation: Stakeholder Sustainability Networking Event

Wednesday 11 Mar 2020 | Oxford Martin School
Hosted by the OxPOCH project, Oxford Networks for the Environment (ONE) & the OMS The OxPOCH research project, led by Prof. E.J. Milner-Gulland (Zoology), in conjunction with the ONE and the OMS, is hosting a networking event which will contribute to the consultation on the Environmental Sustainability Strategy that the University is in the process of drafting. This new Strategy aims [...]

Understanding and promoting social transformations to address climate change

Thursday 27 Feb 2020 | Gottmann Room, OUCE
While there is now strong international momentum on action to tackle climate change, in order to avoid further widespread impacts there is a need for more fundamental transformations across all parts of society. Progress in reducing the UK’s emissions has largely been restricted to improving energy efficiency and decarbonising energy production, while there has been much less traction in other [...]

Climbing the energy services ladder: transitions in India’s urbanenergy consumption amid a changing global climate

Seminar | Week 1 | Tuesday 18 Feb 2020
Demand-side measures, such as urban energy management in households, are central to addressing global climate change. Examining and shaping energy consumption patterns is particularly salient in developing countries, where the bulk of urban growth is projected to occur and which are often the most vulnerable to climate impacts. India is keyto these discussions as it undergoes the largest urban transition [...]
