We’re excited to share Planetary’s 2025 Community Engagement Report, a visual story of what it looks like to build climate solutions with communities.
The report captures a year of deeper collaboration, shared action, and trust-building across Tufts Cove in Nova Scotia and the Elizabeth River in Virginia built over previous years of engagement.
Planetary held over 150 community engagement touchpoints, directly engaging more than 200 organizations and 600 community members through site visits, tea-table discussions, open houses, community gatherings and other forums. But behind each number is something more meaningful: from guidance shared by Indigenous Elders to collaboration with local organizations deeply rooted in place.
The deeper story is the report’s “Trust Balance Sheet”: trust earned, feedback integrated, and relationships built over time. Community input helped shape real project decisions, including lobster larvae ecotoxicity testing in Tufts Cove and oyster monitoring at Elizabeth River.
The report is also visually distinctive, developed through an Indigenous lens and supported by creative work from El’taqati’kw Digital Studio of the Mi’kmaq Confederacy of PEI.
At its core, this is a report about partnership, progress, and the belief that durable climate solutions are built on trust, respect, and community leadership.
