About
The Canadian Poverty, Health Equity, and Climate Change knowledge mobilization initiative started in 2022 with funding from the McConnell Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. This initiative aims to improve Canada’s climate change mitigation and adaptation responses as they relate to individuals, families, and communities that are experiencing poverty.
This initiative has established networks of experts, policymakers, and community organizations and provides research, policy, education, and service direction based on the best available evidence on the climate change-poverty-health nexus in Canada.
Through a co-designed process, these networks are engaged in an array of activities, including literature reviews, think tanks, and participatory lived experience engagement. An intersectional lens is applied with specific emphases on the experiences of women, children and youth, older adults, and populations experiencing homelessness and housing precarity. Connecting and aligning this work with Indigenous communities, racialized communities, and other key points of intersection is a priority in this effort.
