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.

It can be overwhelming to think about feeding eight billion people. But in our current food system, choices in one place can influence lives around the world. So what can we collectively do to make sure that people everywhere have access to fresh and healthy food?
Drawing on our research on community-based conservation across Australia, we talk about the importance of biodiversity for all live on earth, the benefits and limitations of protected areas as conservation tools and the usefulness of agreements like the Global Biodiversity Framework.
In this episode, we are joined by Dr Rachelle Kernen from the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide. As a geoscientist with a research focus on hydrogen and critical mineral deposits, Rachelle is perfectly positioned to answer our questions about every stage of renewable energy production.
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.
Melissa and Ariane sit down with Dr Scott Hanson-Easey from the School of Public Health at the University of Adelaide to explore the often-discussed gap between knowledge and action in addressing climate change.
