A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
Loyola has created a new Laudato Si’ fund to help support the advancement of the 5 goals at the intersection of ecological and social justice:
1. fostering ecological economics
2. adopting sustainable lifestyles
3. fostering ecological education
4. fostering ecological spirituality
5. building community resilience & empowerment
To advance these goals, Loyola has put together a Laudato Si’ working group to develop a plan to implement, assess, and adjust these efforts over the next 7 years. Priority will be given to efforts that advance more than one goal at a time, demonstrating the concept of integral ecology. Integral Ecology refers to the integrated and holistic approach to political, social, economic, and environmental problems by recognizing that many of the issues we face are interconnected and need to be looked at as a whole, not just in part. The Laudato Si’ commitment not only builds upon our sustainability efforts, it connects this work with our mission and core values as Jesuit institution of higher education.
A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
Our multi-stakeholder decision-making process consists of a group put together with the task of identifying funding opportunities and strategies for sustainability initiatives on campus. The group includes stakeholders from advancement, faculty, facilities, a representative from cabinet, and the office of sustainability and will decide which funds are allocated to which projects based on prioritization, urgency, and student interest.
