Empowering Planetary Health Together

Join a pan-Canadian network dedicated to wellbeing, equity, and regeneration for future generations.

Evidence-Based

Too often publicly-funded research languishes behind paywalls in difficult-to-read journals, becoming stranded intellectual assets. We believe that achieving long term wellbeing for all requires us to source the smartest thoughts from different knowledge traditions, to express them in alignment with communication sciences, and to influence their implementation by working with best practices in policy and political science.

Ethics-Driven

We believe that everyone, now and into the future, deserves a chance to thrive and that we have the best chance of achieving this if we reduce our blind spots by having people with different points of view and a variety of life journeys around the table.

Power-Informed

Understanding power as the ability to get things done, we take an eco-centric approach which centers each individual’s “power to” effect change and the potential for our organized collective to create enough “power with” one another to set a path towards healthy people on a healthy planet.

About POWER

POWER connects academics and organizations dedicated to healthcare and community care to facilitate knowledge mobilization, strategic communications and policy influence in order to position long term wellbeing for all as our north star at organizational and societal levels.

Our Theory of Change

If we engage thought leaders in planetary health and wellbeing societies from Canadian universities and community groups and channel their expertise into concrete change and a communications meta-narrative that attracts widespread public acceptance,

then decision makers will change policy and practice to give present and future generations a chance to thrive within planetary boundaries,

because leaders respond when people show up.
