Failing to take action on climate change and biodiversity loss is deeply unjust, as those lease responsible for these crises often bear the greatest burden. Yet taking action can be just as unjust if our solutions inadvertently reinforce the very inequalities we are trying to overcome. So how can we navigate this complexity in our pursuit of sustainability?

In this episode, we sit down with Associate Professor Kristina Sehlin Macneil, the Deputy Director at Várdduo Center for Sámi Research at Umeå University in Sweden. Drawing on her extensive research on Indigenous peoples’ experience of energy production, Kristina talks us through the impacts of the green transition on Sámi reindeer herders and shares their aspirations for more genuine involvement in related projects.

How renewable are renewables? How do we feed 8 billion people? Why is 30% the magic number for protection in protected area management? And how we can adapt to the challenges we face today in sustainable and resilient ways?

Welcome to Steering Sustainability, where we explore the questions that need to be asked – and answered – to unlock a better future.

Join Professor Melissa Nursey-Bray and Dr Ariane Gienger, as they tackle these questions, and try to understand the challenges and opportunities in answering them.

Steering Sustainability explores options for nourishing humanity and preserving ecosystems, delve into the environmental and social impacts of the green transition and reflect on the importance of engaging diverse communities in our pursuit of sustainability.

Steering Sustainability is supported by the University of Adelaide’s FAME Sustainability Strategy. It is produced by Solstice Podcasting in collaboration with Ramona Palfy.
