Working toward a world in which human dignity and ecological integrity flourish together
Grounded in the best available science and foundational ideas of integral ecology, we translate sustainability research and education into transformative global action.
The University of Notre Dame and the Holy See’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development have established a long-term partnership to actualize Pope Francis’ call for global ecological conversion.
Learning Together
The Notre Dame Seminars on Sustainability bring global sustainability leaders and world-class scholars to campus for knowledge sharing and engagement with the Notre Dame community.
“Rather than focusing on a negative vision for the future to be avoided through technical solutions, we focus on the interconnectedness of the world, striving toward a positive vision for the future we are trying to create. This reframing enables us to expand what is possible in our research, teaching, and impact around the world.”
“Today, however, we have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.”
