Gonzaga University recently became the first U.S. university to officially commit to the ambitious Laudato Si' Action Platform, which was inspired by Pope Francis's 2015 encyclical on climate change and sustainability, “Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home.” Read this transformative work here:
Founded in 2021, the Gonzaga Center for Climate, Society, and the Environment provides resources and opportunities to students, faculty, community members, and leaders in the inland northwest to meet the unprecedented challenges facing humanity and the wider natural environment in the 21st century. Such a vision is central to our identity as a Jesuit institution of higher learning. As Pope Francis writes, “All Christian communities have an important role to play in ecological education.”
This guide was created as a central location for resources on climate, society, and the environment, including relevant published research by Gonzaga faculty, teaching resources, journals and other publications available through the library, and more. This guide is a living document: please email climatecenter@gonzaga.edu to make a suggestion.
The Gonzaga Center for Climate, Society, and the Environment is pleased to announce our Fall 2022 lecture series.
All of our events are free and open to the public. With the exception of the documentary screening (9/8), all of the events will be livestreamed and recorded, making them available to neighbors in Spokane, Washington and interested folks across the world.
Our fall events include scientists, scholars, thought leaders, and candidates for local office.
