The People Around the World (PAW) Congress is an annual coming together of local and international experts in health, environmental sciences, sustainability, food, energy and water, digital technologies and the social sciences to explore creative and accessible solutions to support planetary health.

This years’ theme of ‘Critical connections: The path to responsible minerals, sustainable energy and thriving communities” brings together leaders of government, academia, industry, civil society, Indigenous groups, and more.
Together, we will explore ways to advance and streamline clean technologies, energy transition, emissions and reductions in Canada and the world.
