Canadian Coalition for Planetary Health and
Well-being Societies
Well-being Societies
Our Vision
Grounded in an ethic of respect and sacred reciprocity with nature, our vision is that Canada and sovereign Indigenous Nations, provinces, territories, and municipalities become a well-being society explicitly committed to improving the well-being of all life while living within planetary boundaries.
Our Mission
The mission of the Coalition is to rally the health sector in support of this vision and these values and to join with other sectors working to create a well-being society.
Planetary health refers to both the health of Earth’s natural environment and to global human health.
A Well-being Society helps to create the conditions for human and planetary flourishing for current and future generations. Sustainable human existence and society depend on a symbiotic relationship between humans and the global environment.
Incorporating the perspectives of sovereign Indigenous Nations in Canada and the Cochambamba Declaration, the Coalition will work to strengthen the Canadian health sector with respect to planetary health, help develop an ecologically sustainable health system, and create a well-being society.
