Federal Sustainable Development Strategy

The Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) provides Canadians with a whole-of-government view of environmental priorities at the federal level, with goals, targets, and implementation strategies across 30 departments and agencies.

The first cycle of the FSDS, covering the period 2010-2013, was tabled in Parliament in October 2010. For the first time, Canadians had a comprehensive picture of actions that support the government’s environmental sustainability.
