Welcome to the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton! 

This podcast will explore the greatest and most wicked problem that is sustainability, whilst looking at how we are collectively addressing this critical global challenge. 

Sustainability needs to be addressed by understanding how the economy, society, culture, politics and environment intersect, and this will be the focus that informs each episode of the Meliora podcast.

In each episode, host Professor Simon Kemp will be joined by a variety of guests, including academics, students, staff, researchers, alumni, community groups and business leaders. 

The aim of the podcast is to shine a light on the vast range of topics surrounding sustainability and to allow listeners to learn about the critical challenges we face, as well as how they can be part of the solution. 

Podcast host: Professor Simon Kemp, Deputy Director of the Sustainability & Resilience Institute, University of Southampton

Podcast editors: Lily Killner & Sophie Green, School of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Southampton
