I’m Chris Riedy, Professor of Sustainability Transformations and Associate Director Learning and Development at the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology Sydney. I’m an action researcher who has worked on sustainability transformations for 30 years. I use sociological and political theory, narrative theory and futures thinking to design, facilitate and evaluate practical experiments in transformative change towards sustainable futures.
I’m an Advisor to the Transformations Community and a Senior Research Fellow of the Earth System Governance project. I was a Contributing Author on the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment and I’m on the Editorial Boards of Futures and Global Social Challenges. In 2023, I Co-Chaired the Transformations Conference in Sydney. I’m currently working on two major RACE for 2030 research projects: Energy Upgrades for Australian Homes and Scenarios for Future Living.
I live on the lands of the Dharawal people, in Thirroul, south of Sydney.
