Strategic Initiative for Climate, Justice and Sustainability
As the new academic and intellectual home for Villanova University's commitment to sustainability, the Strategic Initiative for Climate, Justice and Sustainability (SICJS) aims to further awareness and understanding of the environmental crisis that looms before humanity and earth, finding solutions to mitigate harm and create a more just and sustainable future. The Strategic Initiative supports existing academic centers and groups within Villanova and facilitates interdisciplinary work across colleges and departments. It aims to build a university-wide institute that fosters a uniquely Augustinian and Catholic approach to climate, justice and sustainability.
The Strategic Initiative responds to Pope Francis' call to care for our common home in Laudato Si, his encyclical on the environment.
