Connecting the Laudato Si Action Platform with UD’s Common Good Framework

Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ - on the Care for our Common Home (LS) is the first extensive Papal document focused on the environment. In May 2021, the Vatican announced a Laudato Si Action Platform (LSAP), a seven-year process calling universities and six other sectors to action on seven LS goals that integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals. UD was invited to join the international universities network working team. This session is led by students, staff, and faculty members of UD’s LSAP working group. We’ll give an overview of the LSAP vision, elements, and process and its connections with the UD mission, UD\u27s Marianist identity, and the Vatican’s Global Education Compact. We’ll also explore connections the LSAP initiative is creating on campus and with other universities globally. Finally, we’ll explore with you the ways the LSAP can engage all facets of campus life and promote student participation in addressing the urgent climate crisis
