Steinberger is the Principal Investigator on the Leverhulme Trust Project "Living Well Within Limits".[28] The project investigates what the biophysical requirements are for human well-being, and the influence of social provisioning on the levels of resource associated with this.[28] The project also looks to understand how the world's limited resources could be used to preserve human wellbeing.[28] To achieve this, Steinberger believes it is necessary to define what a "good" life is, understand what the requirements are for wellbeing and the context surrounding international inequality.[29]

Steinberger has studied how humanity can maintain a good quality of life without damaging the planet.
