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.

Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Society thrives when people plant trees, knowing they may never sit in their shade: a discussion on climate anxiety and the multigenerational challenges of sustainability
In this episode of the Meliora Podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute at the University of Southampton we embark on a wide-ranging discussion around climate anxiety and the challenges of multigenerational sustainability with our SRI Director Prof Craig Hutton, and our Communications Interns Alex Ayerst and Hannah Parish.
This is a thought provoking episode and we recognise that there may be some points you disagree with, yet also support some others. That is the purpose of academia. To challenge and debate is crucial in the sustainability sphere, and in this episode we looked to get the perspectives of different generations.
We hope you enjoy this episode, and if you have any thoughts you'd like to share please email us at sri@soton.ac.uk. Also, we're keen to hear from anyone who would like to join us on the podcast to continue this debate!
