The 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) brought together almost every country in the world in an effort to have the global community commit itself to the goal of sustainable development. Among its major achievements was Agenda 21, an ambitious plan of action on 39 environment and development issues. The United Nations subsequently created the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) to monitor progress towards achievement of UNCED's goals. This report of Canada to the CSD summarizes the progress, lessons learned, and challenges in achieving the goals of sustainable development. It concentrates on the chapters and themes in Agenda 21 that will be discussed at the next session of the CSD. It attempts to isolate the major trends and themes in Canadian responses to each of those chapters. It also includes short summaries of recent developments in topics related to the sectoral chapters discussed during the latest session of the CSD.
« L’audit visait à déterminer si le gouvernement du Canada était prêt à mettre en œuvre le Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030 des Nations Unies. L’audit a porté sur sept ministères et organismes. Cinq ont été désignés pour diriger la préparation à la mise en œuvre du Programme 2030 au nom du gouvernement du Canada et les deux autres y ont contribué de manière importante. Les ministères et organismes visés par notre audit sont les suivants : Affaires autochtones et du Nord Canada (ministère responsable); Affaires mondiales Canada (ministère responsable); Bureau du Conseil privé; Condition féminine Canada (organisme responsable); Emploi et Développement social Canada (ministère responsable); Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ministère responsable); Statistique Canada » -- Objet de l'audit, p. 7.
One of the more significant recommendations to emerge from UNCED in 1992 was the call in Agenda 21 for countries to develop and implement national sustainable development strategies. Most countries have responded to this challenge. However many countries also have a long history of drawing up planning exercises at this level to deal with environmental problems. 'Green planning' is now used as a shorthand term for a range of such national-level planning initiatives covering both sustainable development and environmental concerns, and countries from the North and the South can benefit from a pooling of knowledge. Getting to Grips with Greens Plans presents a cogent analysis of industrial countries' experiences in this area, drawing out lessons and observations from broad empirical experience. Part 1 provides an overview of national green planning, reviewing its origins and scope, identifying popular approaches and common processes, highlighting important issues such as participation, the influence of domestic politics, and the track record of more ambitious regional plans, and comparing approaches in developed and developing countries. Part 2 goes on to present a series of detailed case studies, drawn largely from interviews with key individuals responsible for coordinating national green planning processes. These cases come from a range of Western and Eastern European countries, the US and Canada, and Australia and New Zealand. Some of these case studies show impressive records of achievement, whilst others demonstrate potential stumbling blocks. All demonstrate the difficulty of putting the concept of sustainable development into practice Barry Dalal-Clayton is director of the Environmental Planning Group at the International Institute for Environment and Development, London. In recent years, Dr Dalal Clayton has been deeply involved in analyzing approaches to national sustainable development strategies and environmental action plans in many countries, and in advising governments and international agencies in this field. His other current research interests include environmental impact assessment, community-based wildlife management and land use planning. Originally published in 1996

The purpose of this report is to identify and describe important trends in Canada over the last quarter century, which taken together provide a snapshot of Canada's progress toward sustainable development. Details on issues and specific initiatives can be found in the list of selected readings at the end. This report is not a comprehensive scorecard. Rather, it is intended to illustrate how conditions in Canada have changed, to demonstrate how issues, priorities, thinking, and responses have evolved during a dynamic quarter century, and to highlight challenges that remain in our quest for a sustainable future.
