Sustainability Matters Now Podcast
Sustainability Matters Now Podcast
A University of Warwick podcast exploring the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic, and social.
Through conversations with staff, students, and partners at Warwick and beyond, we examine how universities, organisations, and communities put sustainability into practice; from grassroots recycling initiatives to climate politics, and from student wellbeing programmes to institutional transformation.
Hosted by Dr Tom Ritchie, Chair of the ESD Action Group at the University of Warwick, this podcast goes beyond environmental issues to explore the UN Sustainable Development Goals, equity and inclusion, and the real-world challenges of creating thriving, resilient communities.
Join us monthly for stories of innovation, leadership, and sustainable change in action.
This podcast is supported by the Energy and Sustainability Team at the University of Warwick.
