A Strategic Plan Priority
The Climate Institute’s formation is one of twelve institutional "actions" affirmed in Gonzaga's strategic plan, adopted in the summer of 2023. Noting the Jesuit commitment to justice includes caring for humanity’s common home, Gonzaga's Board of Trustees made their own commitment by establishing this academic institute dedicated to understanding and responding to environmental crises to realize a just world. (See Action 10 in the Strategic Plan, pg. 32.)
Climate Institute Strategic Plan
In order to realize the vision and mission of the Climate Institute, the Director, full time staff, and the Internal Advisory board spent the 2025-2026 academic year developing a strategic plan. The Institute's Strategic Plan covers its guiding principles, goals, and strategies through 2028.
