What do an urban designer, an electrician and a university have in common? They all want to help humanity prosper. To achieve that, sustainability is key.

In this episode, our host David is joined by Professor Josh Byrne and Saf Flatters. Josh is Dean of Sustainable Futures at Curtin (he’s also well-known as a presenter on ABC TV’s Gardening Australia), and Saf is an electrical and energy specialist and third-year Curtin data science student.

Together, they explore what a ‘sustainable future’ really means, and how the novel Curtin University subject, Sustainability Challenge, is bringing together academia, industry, government and community to create real, practical solutions to some of today’s most pressing environmental and social problems.
