Meliora: a podcast from the Sustainability & Resilience Institute
Welcome to the Green Gown Award winning 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: Jack Dinham, Ellie Howell, Mya Harvey, Lily Killner, Sophie Green, Libby Kale, School of Geography and Environmental Science, University of Southampton
Podcast communications: Tyler Domone-Hollands, Hannah Parish, Alexander Ayerst, Maya Stevens, University of Southampton

We're thrilled to welcome the wonderful Charlotte Bonner, Chief Executive of the EAUC and one of the true leaders of the Sustainability Education sector onto the Meliora Podcast! In this episode we chat about Charlotte's passion for sustainability, how a chance encounter about bike storage changed her life, and every stage in her hugely impactful sustainability career.
Charlotte is someone I've worked with for well over a decade, and is one of the most impactful, strategic and supportive sustainability leaders I know. Chief Executive of EAUC since early 2023, Charlotte is responsible for the strategic leadership of the organisation, supported by the brilliant EAUC team and over fifteen years’ leadership experience across membership and tertiary education organisations, with a focus on business development, transformational engagement and policy and advocacy.
