A letter from various health professionals and organizations to Canadian leaders advocating for a societal shift toward well-being to address the climate and biodiversity crises.

• The authors recommend that Canada establish a Well-being Society Office within the federal Privy Council Office and provincial/territorial Cabinet Offices, create a Well-being Society Commissioner reporting to legislatures, and consider a 'Well-being for Future Generations Act' to ensure intergenerational accountability.
• The document argues that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an insufficient measure of success because it ignores human and ecosystem well-being. It recommends implementing the Department of Finance publication 'Toward a Quality of Life Strategy for Canada' (April 19, 2021) and replacing most quarterly GDP reporting with Quality of Life metrics.
