This paper assesses the degree of progress attained in the implementation of the PWGSC Sustainable Development Strategy.
The federal sustainable development strategy (FSDS) outlines the government's commitment to strengthen the application of strategic environmental assessments (SEA). This will improve the consideration of environmental concerns when making economic or social decisions by applying the FSDS goals and targets when undertaking SEAs, reporting on the results of SEAs in Departmental Performance Reports (DPR), and describing the contribution of a proposal to the achievement of the FSDS goals and targets in the SEA public statements. Goals, targets, and implementation strategies outlined in the Annex give a detailed description of federal government activities under each heading, so for the first time it is possible to see all activities in one place. The FSDS describes in detail how departments will report using the Expenditure Management System and what their Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPP) and DPRs will look like using the FSDS goals and targets. It illustrates how the Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) will be used to report progress on goals and targets. The first progress report is planned for spring 2011.--Document
