About the Pembina Foundation

The Pembina Foundation for Environmental Research and Education is a federally-registered charitable organization. The foundation supports innovative environmental research and education initiatives to increase understanding within society of the way we produce and consume energy, the impact on the environment and the consequences for communities, as well as options for the more sustainable use of natural resources. The Pembina Foundation contracts the Pembina Institute to deliver on this work.

The Pembina Foundation for Environmental Research and Education was established to:

• promote public education and information that increases understanding about environmental and global issues and that enhances the public's ability to protect and conserve the environment; and t

• research, develop and produce educational materials and programs that assist formal and informal educators involved in school, adult and community education to implement or conduct education programs that increase understanding about environmental issues and methods of protecting and conserving the environment.

We envision a world where sustainable communities take creative action to protect the natural beauty and ecological health of the planet, allowing other species to flourish and future generations to live satisfying and healthy lives.
