Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Welcome to the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability and Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton!
This podcast explores 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 is the focus that informs each episode of the Meliora podcast.
In each episode, host Professor Simon Kemp and guest hosts are 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. We also ensure our fantastic students have the opportunity to share their brilliant work with the world.
Podcast host: Professor Simon Kemp, Deputy Director of the Sustainability & Resilience Institute, University of Southampton
Podcast editors: Lily Killner, Sophie Green, Libby Kale, Jack Dinham, School of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Southampton

Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research 2024 Assembly - the thoughts and experiences of the Sustainability and Resilience Institute
In this episode of the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute (SRI) at the University of Southampton we have a big panel discussion about the SRI visit to the 2024 Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research Assembly at the University of Manchester, UK.
The Tyndall Centre is "a partnership of universities bringing together researchers from the social and natural sciences and engineering to develop sustainable responses to climate change. We work with leaders from the public and private sectors to promote informed decisions on mitigating and adapting to climate change." (Tyndall Centre, 2024).
In this episode you can listen to the thoughts, expectations, experiences, outcomes, and dancing activities of the SRI representation of staff, early career researchers and an undergraduate student, as well as a little dive into the impressive partnership work conducted by the Tyndall Centre.
Hear from our episode guests: Prof Craig Hutton (SRI Director), Prof Lindsay-Marie Armstrong (SRI Deputy Director), Dr Alice Brock (SRI SDG Project Officer), Grace Compton (SRI Policy Officer), Early Career Researchers Laurence Cannings (Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Oxford), Gracie Horton (SCDTP), Chloé Combs (INSPIRE), and Ruby Fox (BSc Biomedical Sciences student).
Thanks to Jack Dinham for managing to turn by far the largest number of guests on our podcast into the usual brilliantly edited episode! Also, apologies for my mic levels - due to the number of guests we had to make some adjustments to equipment and rightly sacrificed my mic-stand!
