Well-being Economies Alliance for Canada and Sovereign Indigenous Nations
Quick: Think about all the things you care about the most.
How much are they worth?
Chances are they aren’t valued by the current economic model – things like your health, time spent raising your kids or clean water.
Have you ever stopped to think about what the economy’s purpose is? Shouldn’t it be designed to value and provide the things that actually make our lives better?

Enter well-being economies, where your well-being and that of the natural world around you is what matters most.
